Description
Essence & Concept
Angel’s Share (2020) is part of Kilian’s The Liquors collection, inspired by the heritage of the Hennessy cognac‑making family. The idea is to capture the spirit and atmosphere of fine cognac aging in oak barrels — the invisible part “evaporated” known as the “angel’s share.” This fragrance uses cognac oil, oak, vanilla, and spices to evoke opulence, warmth, and a sumptuous, decadent aura.
Note Structure
Top notes: Cognac — rich, boozy, slightly fruity and warm.
Heart (middle): Oak absolute, Cinnamon, Tonka Bean — adds warmth, spicy sweetness, and woody depth.
Base notes: Praline, Vanilla, Sandalwood — creamy, gourmand sweetness balanced by smooth woods and dessert‑like finish.
Evolution & Experience
Upon spraying, Angel’s Share greets with a strong, rich cognac note that feels boozy and luxurious. Cinnamon and oak soon emerge, introducing warmth and structure beneath the alcohol‑sweet top. As time passes, the fragrance mellows into a creamy, velvety base of vanilla and praline, with sandalwood grounding the sweetness and adding a woody elegance. The development is fairly linear after the opening, but the richness intensifies and softens in turn.
Longevity & Projection
Long. Performance is strong with plenty of staying power — the fragrance lasts many hours, especially on clothes or layers. Projection is noticeable especially early on; later phases pull closer to the skin but still leave a discernible trail.
Best Use / Occasions
Best for evenings, cooler weather (fall/winter), formal or special events. Works well when you want something lush, seductive, and unapologetically gourmet. Might be heavy or too sweet for very hot weather or casual daytime wear.
Character & Vibe
Angel’s Share feels elegant, opulent, indulgent. It’s got a luxurious dessert‑cocktail vibe: boozy cognac, sweet praline and vanilla, warm spices, and smooth woods. It’s comforting yet bold, perfect if you enjoy fragrances that make a strong entrance and linger in memory.
