Milano has officially closed another spectacular chapter of Esxence – The Art Perfumery Event, and among the constellation of global creators, Jillian left an indelible, poetic mark.
Bringing their core philosophy, "When Perfume Meets Art," to life in the heart of Milan, Jillian invited the fragrance world to step into a space where olfactory genius and visual masterpiece seamlessly intertwined. Here is a look back at the moments, the scents, and the collective heartbeat that defined Jillian’s unforgettable showcase at Esxence 2026.
The Unveiling of Chapter 3: LOVE. ETERNAL.
This year, Esxence marked the official debut of Jillian's highly anticipated new fragrance duo under Chapter 3: LOVE. ETERNAL. This new chapter explores love not just as a feeling, but as a universal force and a creative prism. The collection brilliantly captures love through two contrasting, equally mesmerizing faces: the grand, cinematic intensity of a frozen moment, and the humble, quiet poetry of everyday stillness. To represent these two sides of the same coin, Jillian proudly introduced:
Echo Noir: A majestic creation by the legendary master perfumer Mark Buxton, embodying a breathtaking, sweeping emotional depth.
Silence d’Or: A luminous fragrance crafted by Luqman Hakim, capturing the enduring, quiet strength found in moments of stillness.
Attendees at Esxence 2026 were not only the very first to experience this beautiful duality firsthand, but they were also able to take home a luxurious travel leather pouch complete with the duo's complementary vials—ready to accompany them and be part of their every moment.
Where Dreams Met Reality: The Booth Concept
Jillian’s booth was not merely an exhibition space; it was a living gallery. The intersection of scent and art materialized through a heartfelt creative dialogue with renowned contemporary artist Antoinette Rozan. Antoinette’s expressive sculptures adorned the space, adding a vibrant sense of movement and visual emotion that perfectly mirrored the fluid nature of perfume.
The highlight of the event was the iconic, real-life meeting between perfumer Mark Buxton and artist Antoinette Rozan. Commenting on Rozan’s visual interpretation of his scent, Buxton remarked that her work was "full of emotion, full of movement"—perfectly encapsulating the "perfume meets art" ethos in the most iconic way possible.
The #LOVART – featuring Loverdose Flag artworks by Antoinette Rozan
At the heart of the booth's activation was THE LOVART—an interactive engagement activity conceptualized and executed by the Jillian team to bring the community together.
In celebrating Chapter 3 and Jillian's identity as the 'perfume of love,' with the team's curated Call-to-Action, 'Put the heart at the center of our life and be part of the big picture,' visitors were invited to share their personal definitions of love. The true core of the #LOVART lay in these handwritten love notes from partners, noses, and perfume lovers, which gradually filled the space.
To beautifully incorporate Antoinette Rozan's artistic presence into this interaction, the custom stickers featured elements from her official project, the "Loverdose Flag". By placing their heartfelt words onto these artistic stickers and adding them to the wall, the audience co-created a living masterpiece. When the exhibition closed, the #LOVART wall stood fully completed—a breathtaking tapestry woven from hundreds of collective definitions of love, proving that love always finds its way out.
Arrivederci, Milano!
From the very first spray to the final, inspiring conversations, Jillian was overwhelmed by the sheer pouring of affection from the global fragrance community. Every nose, partner, and enthusiast who stopped by brought the booth to life, proving to be the true heartbeat behind everything the brand creates.
Jillian leaves Milano with full hearts, new inspirations, and a deepened narrative. Until next time, the story of *Love. Eternal.* will continue to linger in the air.
Thank you for being a part of our story, and for always embracing the beauty of being ourselves.
