Kilian Paris introduces a new limited-edition summer fragrance inspired by monoi oil. Sunkissed Goddess is "summer in a scent, the sensation of body oil and sun-kissed skin," the brand describes in a press release. Founder Kilian Hennessy reimagined the traditional Polynesian elixir with a luxurious atmosphere of luminous sunlight and fresh narcotic florals to evoke the multi-sensory memories of summer. Monoï oil—which means "scented oil" in Tahitian—is also known as a tanning oil. Together with perfumer Calice Becker, Hennessy recreated the fragrance with hints of vanilla, coconut, and a duo of florals straight out of the tropics.

Yes, Here's the Proof (Portuguese version) Sunkissed Goddess opens with the heady, lush scent of creamy white tiare flowers and sensual ylang-ylang essence. The fragrance's heart is a warm, full-bodied blend of coconut and vanilla, drying down to base notes of Guaiac wood and Cistus Labdanum —both Kilian Paris olfactory signatures.

The new scent joins the "The Narcotics" olfactive family for a limited time. "It's the perfume of summer, the perfume of happiness," says Kilian Hennessy. The flacon features a design inspired by a ray of white and gold light. It's finished with a white engraving with golden accents. The fragrance is available at the Kilian Paris counter in Lisbon's El Corte Inglés with a RRSP that varies between 250 euros (50 ml refillable bottle) and 500 euros (100 ml).
