The brand
Jillian, whose name is inspired by the Latin name “Gill,” meaning “to be loved,” is a contemporary fragrance house born out of a deep love for nature and life’s most beautiful moments.
Jillian believes that a fragrance can be both beautiful to wear and beneficial to the planet. This is the basis of its guiding principle, “Every Scent Plants a Future,” which reflects the fact that Jillian donates its profits to reforestation efforts. The raw materials used in the fragrances are carefully selected as part of an eco-responsible approach that remains true to the promise of care.
Her approach revolves around love, divided into three layers, just as a fragrance is built in three stages. The top note represents self-love, the heart note love for others, and the base note love for nature. This interpretation gives each creation a purpose beyond just a formula.
The Story
The brand’s story begins at a table in Paris. Jang Kều, a reforestation activist who heads the Sống Foundation and its Forest Symphony project, was having dinner there with perfumers Mark Buxton and David Chieze, as well as Jürg Koller, the head of the Swiss fragrance house LUZI.
As she spoke about her reforestation project, Jürg Koller donated three thousand trees for the mangrove forests of Sóc Trăng, Vietnam. A few months later, David Chieze presented her with a fragrance inspired by a walk in the forest: Fall in Lust.
From this gesture, a brand was born, named after the Latin-derived first name Gill, meaning “to be loved.” Guided by the philosophy that true value lies in attention to detail rather than excess, the brand crafts its creations with care and sensitivity, stripping away the superfluous so that the essential can fully express itself.
The Founder
Jang Kều, also known as JK, is a Vietnamese founder whose journey is rooted in the worlds of fragrance and nature. Growing up amid the peaceful landscapes of northern Vietnam shaped her vision: the most precious things are often the ones we notice the least. She has created a world of scents that invites us to pay closer attention to our memories, to nature, and to all the beauty we risk overlooking when we rush through life too quickly. Her commitment to local communities and environmental projects has revealed to her both the resilience and the fragility of nature. Learning to recognize what remains is also the first step toward preserving it. It was from this conviction that Jillian was born.
Why We Chose Jillian
"While some fashion houses seek to impress with opulence or technical prowess, Jillian prioritizes emotion, delicacy, and the coherence of her aesthetic. The fragrances exude understated elegance, free from fleeting trends or a desire to provoke. They captivate with their balance, their refined craftsmanship, and their ability to complement the wearer rather than overshadow them. Choosing Jillian also means embracing a vision of fragrance rooted in strong values. Jillian is for you if you’re looking for refined, sensitive, and inspired fragrances—ones that tell a story while leaving an elegant and deeply personal impression."
Spotlight
Jillian unveils Chapter 3: Love. Eternal, the new chapter in her “When Perfume Meets Art” collection. In collaboration with artist Antoinette Rozan, whose original works adorn the bottles, Jillian brings together olfactory creation and artistic expression in a sensory dialogue where fragrance meets the visual arts.
Two contrasting fragrances explore the many facets of love. ECHO NOIR, by Mark Buxton, reveals a warm composition where rose, precious woods, leather, and a nutty accord create an intense and timeless presence. SILENCE D'OR, by Luqman Hakim, celebrates understated elegance through a softened, deep, and introspective oud, leaving a serene and lasting trail.
"Private Editions" Collection
The Private Editions explore fragrance as a memory in motion, inspired by travel. Each creation draws inspiration from a landscape, a culture, or the fleeting trace of an emotion, transforming intimate impressions into an olfactory experience.
"Signature" Collection
The Signature Collection brings together the creations born from the “When Perfume Meets Art” project. Each fragrance is the result of a dialogue between an artist and a perfumer, in which the scent expresses what words cannot. Moments, emotions, and fragments of life are transformed into a scent that unfolds over time and leaves a lasting impression.
Jillian Fragrances on SCENTISSIME
JILLIAN is a niche perfume house founded on a simple yet profound belief: what truly matters cannot be seen—it can only be felt. The name Jillian, derived from the Latin “Gill,” means “to be loved”—a promise embodied in every bottle, every composition, and every creative choice. Here, nothing is left to chance. Every JILLIAN niche fragrance is born of patient reflection, a rigorous selection of raw materials, and a refined olfactory composition, stripped of all that is superfluous. What remains, once the essence has been preserved, is the imprint—the one a fragrance leaves on the skin, in a memory, or in the silence of a room after someone has left. JILLIAN creates eaux de parfum, extracts, and olfactory compositions designed to last—on you and within you. The brand is for those seeking a rare fragrance, a unique fragrance, a fragrance that truly reflects who they are. Not a trendy fragrance, but a signature scent. Each creation draws its inspiration from the real world: a particular light, a natural material, an emotion that’s hard to put into words. Buying a JILLIAN fragrance means choosing authenticity over spectacle, longevity over the moment, the essential over the superficial.
