French perfumer Kilian has launched a new extended line of its Le Rouge Parfum scented lipsticks.
The first make-up line from renowned French perfumer Kilian, Le Rouge Parfum is a collection of six deliciously scented red lipsticks with matte and satin finishes. Lightweight and silky, the longwearing formula lasts up to eight hours, delivering bold colour in a single stroke thanks to its high-intensity pigments. For gourmand lips with volume, try mixing both textures; begin by sweeping on the matte lipstick then add satin to the centre for a plump, multi-dimensional finish.
Interview with Kilian
What were your objectives for Le Rouge Parfum?
To create a collection that allows women to find their perfect red in gorgeous, scented lip colors—for lips that make a woman feel daring and elegant and the same time.
Why launch a range of lip color as KILIAN’s first foray into make-up?
My goal has always been to offer women beautiful weapons of seduction and strong shields of protection at once. Red lips are iconic and express a timelessness and sophistication that is a KILIAN aesthetic signature.
And why a collection of only reds?
Red lips are just so powerful! They are also one of the most universal weapons of seduction in all cultures.
How is Le Rouge Parfum lip color collection in sync with KILIAN’s values and heritage?
Le Rouge Parfum is the next logical step in my ambition to make perfume visible. The senses of smell and taste are intimately linked so, in a way, the scented lipsticks also make this connection visible.
What cultural references represent for you “the perfect red lip”?
One that immediately comes to my mind is the movie poster of Stanley Kubrick’s interpretation of Vladimir Nabokov’s book, Lolita. Sue Lyon as Lolita sucking on a lollipop with her heart-shaped glasses… irresistible!
How do you want women to feel wearing Le Rouge Parfum?
In full possession of their seductive powers yet protected at the same time. A woman with the right red is invincible!
