Niccolo Chengdu

Hotel news | Events, 17 June 2025
Chengdu, China – 17 June, 2025, Niccolo Chengdu joined with the luxury fragrance brand KILIAN Paris to present a special edition of Niccolo Lectures themed “Aesthetics of Scent” on 19 June 2025. This immersive event will offer guests a luxurious sensory journey into the art of scent. As a hotel brand inspired by fashion and elegance, Niccolo has always been at the forefront of art and trends. This collaboration with KILIAN brought olfactory artistry to life, offering guests an avant-garde exploration of scent aesthetics.

The first speaker is Binbin, a renowned fragrance opinion leader, who is going to share his unique insights into the world of perfumery. He will take guests on a journey through the origins of KILIAN Paris, likening it to a classic film, where timeless stories and fragrances are passed from one person to another. Founded by Kilian Hennessy, heir to the prestigious Hennessy cognac family, KILIAN Paris blends scent with sensory artistry to embody enduring French luxury. In the world of KILIAN Paris, there are no rules—only intuition. Its fragrances whisper like tipsy secrets, irresistible and captivating.

Mr. Lee Chen, Director of Food & Beverage and Banquets at Niccolo Chengdu, is going to share his interpretation of scent aesthetics during the event. Drawing from his expertise, he explored various forms of expression within fragrance artistry. Mr. Chen will introduce two upcoming collaborations: a co-branded afternoon tea with KILIAN at The Tea Lounge in July called “Sunkissed Goddess”, and the “Endless Summer” cocktail series in partnership with The Bar, offering guests a taste of French fragrance-inspired romance this summer. 



During the event, Colin Gong, Head Mixologist at Niccolo Chengdu, will give guests a captivating mixology performance. He will also guide attendees through crafting signature cocktails, turning each drink into a personal expression of olfactory art. 



Niccolo Lectures is an exclusive event series that embodies Niccolo’s brand spirit of exploration and its motto of “New Encounters and Timeless Pleasures.” Dedicated to creating compelling experiences, Niccolo Hotels presents these events as a platform for contemporary and future entrepreneurs, fashion leaders, and business innovators to share their insights and remarkable life stories.
