Paul Kiler, Perfume Composer of PK Perfumes<\/strong> has spent many years learning this Art and Craft, and has finally taken this step of releasing his line.\u00a0 Paul does this with full confidence of issuing great products of extraordinary quality.\u00a0 He is a leader in the new \u201cReal Perfumery\u201d movement, which consists of perfumers who believe that Real Perfumery uses the best ingredients available to them, to make the best possible fragrances, and composes to Standards of Excellence, instead of standards of weakness.\u00a0 Paul (at least hopes to know) knows what is important to consumers and fragrance fanatics, to have eco and body conscious beautiful fragrances that last well, and are importantly different and beautiful, but are certainly not bland.\u00a0 Paul\u2019s fragrances are a fantastic blend of the world\u2019s best naturals and aromatics creating stunning and new creations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

PK Perfumes employs and enjoys the best of all materials available.<\/span><\/h2>\n

Natural essential oils, Absolutes, resins, and resinoids all figure prominently in all formulations, and range from between 20-50% of the fragrance.<\/p>\n

Natural elements bring a full and beautiful rounding grace to the longevity and strength offered by other materials. This is what he calls, \u201cReal Perfumery\u201d, which is the classic style of the great perfumers of the early 20th<\/sup> century. With the inclusion of so many naturals in the mix, the fragrances hearken back to the early years of Guerlain and Ernest Beaux.\u00a0 The vast majority of mass market fragrances have little to zero naturals included in their formulations, because naturals are more expensive to include.\u00a0 And most all natural fragrances seem to last for but a few hours and then they are gone.\u00a0 PK Perfumes fragrances last all day with aplomb.<\/p>\n

What Inspired Paul to Learn the Art and Craft of Perfumery?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Paul\u2019s inspiration to start learning the Art and Craft or Perfumery came from his love of beauty in all forms, and his love of Nature and scents around him that he has enjoyed since being a boy, and also a\u00a0 fascination by that which cannot be seen, but simply experienced.\u00a0 Paul sometimes wonders about planes of existence when he smells what comes from around him.\u00a0 And in the late 90\u2019s, he found himself wanting great fragrances to wear for himself, but the scents on the market were weak and circular referencing self-imitations of each other, with zero originality and interest.\u00a0 Paul then began his journey and quest to see what could be done about this standard of weakness in the men\u2019s fragrance world.<\/p>\n

He started to make for himself, and has now masterfully composed fragrances for all people.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“I\u2019m about the Art of Perfumes, not artifice.<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m about the form and composition of perfumes, not conformity.<\/h3>\n

I compose to a standard of Real Perfumery Excellence, not to a standard of weakness.” \u00a0– he says<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s work is not simple – it is complex and orchestral in nature.<\/h3>\n
