Chapter 1
Whoever I am
On November 19, 2022, the perfume brand Jillian officially launched a limited collection Come Out at the exhibition "When Perfume Meets Art," marking the first time contemporary art joins perfume.
Niche perfumes exude an exciting and unique kind of scent that is difficult to find, now embracing even greater value by taking inspiration from contemporary artwork. Come Out reveals the story behind the masterpiece "Whoever I Am" of famous artist Le Kinh Tai - an intense but profound emotion of one finding his true self.
Come out and Le Kinh Tai have many similarities. Whether it's a painting, or a scent, in contrast to what is as liberal and passionate as the first impression, the embodiment of a mature soul with many scratches and open stories will be what motivates you. discover.
Style: pride, depth, personality
Whoever you are,
whoever I am?
Come out opens with Neroli orange radiating strongly throughout the space, with a slight hint of anxiety from herbs, like a few touches of colorful life. The scent is burning hot but still cool and green like youth, innocent and pure but also full of enthusiastic pride. Connected by a slight sourness of tropical fruit, Come out is suddenly quiet in the midst of a tranquil flower garden with jasmine, peony and subtle roses. Closing with a mixture of musk and moss, wood, the scent brings our minds back to pure nature, to a peaceful place where we can see ourselves from the depths.

WHOEVER I AM by Le Kinh Tai
200 x 300cm, Oil on canvas, 2018
...When I turned 20, I used to set goals for myself that I'd be expected to achieve for each time of life. Whereupon I little by little walked through each of those turning points with challenges, sweet, gloomy, and harsh...
...During my journey, when facing difficulties, I remind myself that happiness came upon us a lot in the past. So I decided to keep going with the most positive energy...
Just before accomplishing a slight success, I notify myself to look back in time and realize that the path ahead is still long, but to keep my honor in inspection...
So I venture out, again, wishing to "see," feeling, and trying to cope with difficulties, relishing each sweetness and rescuing every small happiness, where youthful dreams and aspirations arise
When I'm forced to face loneliness, which always goes hand in hand and mostly hinders the dreams and ambitions of youth, I always remind myself to "read" again each part of the olden days and nurture its hope.
In every step of trying to conquer myself, I keep reminding myself 'Whoever I am', to always fill up with the freshest energy. I still remind myself "Whoever I am", not to be enticed by momentary success.
The series "Whoever I Am" was created to show appreciation for life and how grateful I am for my existence in this life...

Liberal, obedient but full of the spirit of life, the source of life is very natural and natural. In each of his works, Le Kinh Tai does not care about beauty or bad, because for him, art in everyone's eyes is aesthetic, without a scale, there is no certain standard. Draw and live, bring the confrontations in everyday life, the arguments in the inner mind, the questions turned into drawings.

See the Intangible
Fall in Lust by David Chieze
Fall in Lust holds the original beauty of nature, coming from the raw materials. The moment it creeps into the air, the scent is soon overwhelmed by the fresh and pungent pepper notes. Following up are the layers of oriental spices, intricately interwoven but still gently mesmerizing the sense of smell. As the fragrance tones down, the spices blend into a familiar, pure, and sensual sense that evokes memories and invites us to come to nostalgia and relive them.

Intangible
by Mark Buxton

Chapter 3
Love. Eternal
Jillian explores love as a timeless creative force, set against two equally mesmerizing faces—how grand it can be, and how humble it remains. From sweeping, almost cinematic expressions to the quiet poetry of everyday moments, love reveals itself in contrasts that feel both distant and deeply familiar.

ECHO NOIR by Mark Buxton
Echo Noir exists in a suspended moment, where time slows and presence becomes everything. This is about passion and love becoming a timeless presence—a sense of being overwhelmed by presence where the emotion is so vast. A warm, textured nutty accord grounds the scent, creating a space where nothing moves, yet everything is felt. It is the golden glow of candelabras meeting the shadow of red velvet; an era, a memory, a performance still unfolding.
THE ECHO NOIR'S LOVERDOSE FLAG
At the center of the Flag is a vibrant, deep red heart, alive and pulsating with human emotion. It overlooks two souls waltzing in unison, hand in hand, as if they are the only beings in existence. They are no longer two, but one.
Enveloped in this enchanting nectar, they embrace a moment of pure joie de vivre, fueled by a fiery energy that resonates within and around them. The artwork’s depth reflects the many facets of their story, where shades of red merge like two hearts becoming a single entity. The fragrance then becomes their intimate bond, an invisible seal of fusion recognized only by one another.

SILENCE D'OR by Luqman Hakim
Silence d’Or is a tribute to these fleeting, personal moments—the ones that quietly anchor us. It moves towards quiet steadiness; it doesn’t demand attention, it simply accompanies you. In a world that often feels chaotic, it honours a calm that holds without asking to be seen. Modern, understated, and quietly elegant. It reminds us that sometimes, the ordinary is what saves us. A softened, introspective oud defines the scent, less about intensity, more about depth that quietly endures.
THE SILENCE D'OR LOVERDOSE FLAG
For this fragrance, Antoinette Rozan seeks the essence of a solitary stroll through Paris, capturing a heart that is more intimate, peaceful, and vibrant. This heart accompanies those who wander in a silent, lively dialogue with themselves, marvelling at the discoveries found within the City of Light.
The visual palette reflects iconic Parisian aesthetics: the pale hues of cut stone and white skies contrasted by the sudden, life-filled red of the city’s rooftops. Adapting to its surroundings with elegance and sobriety, the heart breathes at its own pace.

In keeping with Jillian’s mission to treat perfume as a form of artistic expression, the brand has collaborated with multidisciplinary artist Antoinette Rozan. Known for her work exploring the heart as a symbol of vitality, Antoinette has translated the emotional vibrations of the fragrances into original artworks. These pieces appear directly on the perfume labels, turning each bottle into a physical meeting point between the olfactory and the visual.
