Discover Angels’ Share by KILIAN PARIS, a Unisex Eau de Parfum from The Liquors collection, inspired by the art of cognac making and built around a rich amber-gourmand composition of Cognac Essence, Cinnamon, Oak and Tonka Bean, settling into sandalwood, praline and vanilla.
The fragrance opens with Cognac Essence, creating a warm and enveloping introduction. It develops into a heart of Oak, Cinnamon and Tonka Bean, before settling over Sandalwood, Praline and Vanilla for a creamy, sweet and woody finish.
Angels’ Share is one of Kilian Hennessy's most personal creations, drawing directly from his heritage as an heir to the renowned Hennessy cognac-making family. Its name refers to La Part des Anges, or “the angels’ share”, the portion of liquid that naturally evaporates from oak barrels during the ageing process.
Created by perfumer Benoist Lapouza in collaboration with Kilian Hennessy, Angels’ Share was launched in 2020. Specialist sources classify it as a Unisex Oriental Vanilla / Amber Vanilla fragrance, while KILIAN PARIS officially describes it as an Amber Gourmand Eau de Parfum.
Top Note
The fragrance opens with Cognac Essence.
Cognac creates a warm, rich and gently sweet opening with caramelised and subtly fruity nuances, immediately establishing the fragrance's distinctive gourmand-woody character.
Heart Notes
The heart reveals Oak, Cinnamon and Tonka Bean.
Oak provides a dry woody structure reminiscent of the barrels used to age fine cognac, while cinnamon introduces pronounced warm spice. Tonka bean adds smooth sweetness with vanilla-like and almond facets.
Base Notes
The composition settles on Sandalwood, Praline and Vanilla.
Sandalwood provides creamy woody softness, while praline introduces rich nutty sweetness. Vanilla adds enveloping warmth, creating a smooth and persistent amber-gourmand dry-down.
