Angels’ Share, a Kilian Paris eau de parfum released in 2020, pays tribute to the cognac family of which Kilian Hennessy is the heir. Benoist Lapouza sets a cognac oil in the opening, over a blend of oak, cinnamon and tonka bean, and a base of sandalwood, praline and vanilla. A cognac essence gives the fragrance its natural caramel color.
Kilian Paris highlights three notes, cognac, hazelnut and oak wood. The house describes a cognac oil in the opening, set on a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute, and a base of sandalwood, praline and vanilla.
Cognac and oak
The opening rests on the cognac oil, and the house specifies that the fragrance contains an essence extracted from the spirit itself. The oak absolute recalls the wood of the casks in which cognac ages; cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute surround it in the middle of the composition.
The base
Sandalwood, praline and vanilla form the base. Hazelnut, which the house lists among the main notes without placing it, stays here in prose, close to the praline. Hedione and candied almond, often associated with Angels’ Share, do not appear in the house’s description.
What the label declares
The ingredient list published in Europe has eleven entries: denatured alcohol, parfum and water, seven regulated allergens and one antioxidant, BHT. These allergens include coumarin, cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamal and eugenol, alongside limonene, linalool and benzyl benzoate.
