Imagine a fragrance born from the radiance of a black diamond—rare, mysterious, and flawless.
This is precisely the inspiration behind Kn II by the French jewelry house Korloff Paris.
Launched in 2008, this women's fragrance embodies the brand's philosophy, where precious gems meet the art of perfumery.
It was created by the company's founder himself, perfumer Daniel Paillasseur, who infused the composition with a touch of jewelry magic.
Kn II belongs to the Kn° collection, named after the legendary 88-carat Korloff Noir black diamond. The 88 ml bottle itself is a tribute to this unique gem.
The fragrance belongs to the oriental family and is presented in an eau de toilette concentration.
Its sillage is barely perceptible—an intimate, enveloping scent that speaks softly yet confidently, staying close to the skin.
The composition opens with a juicy fruity-citrus burst: sparkling grapefruit, sweet mandarin, ripe peach, and exotic pineapple create a feeling of sunlit warmth.
At its heart, a bouquet of white flowers blooms, enveloping powdery iris and earthy vetiver.
The base is sensual and comforting: creamy sandalwood, subtly sweet tonka bean, delicate vanilla, and velvety musk.
This fragrance is ideal for cool days and evening outings, when you want to highlight your mystery and elegance.
Its subtle sillage makes Kn II an excellent choice for the office or a romantic date—it is a scent meant for you and your companion.
If you enjoy this oriental charm, take a look at similar fragrances: Salvador Dali Laguna, Ulric de Varens Isa, and Nishane Hundred Silent Ways.

The fragrance has medium longevity and lasts on the skin for about 5-6 hours, gradually revealing its notes and leaving a pleasant impression
The scent exists only for you—no one around you will notice it
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The Kn II fragrance pyramid is built on the contrast between vibrant fruits and deep oriental notes.
The top notes—juicy grapefruit, sweet mandarin, ripe peach, and tropical pineapple—create an energetic, flirtatious opening.
At the heart of the composition, delicate white flowers, powdery iris, and spicy, herbaceous vetiver unfold.
The base envelops with warmth: creamy sandalwood, the vanilla sweetness of vanilla, velvety tonka beans, and sensual musk create a long-lasting, comforting trail.
