Career and creations
Kilian Paris presents Benoist Lapouza as a French perfumer, with whom Kilian Hennessy collaborated for the first time on Angels' Share in 2020. The fragrance opened a new family, The Liquors, and the house describes it as its founder's most personal creation: heir to the Hennessy cognac family, Kilian Hennessy pays tribute to the "angels' share", the liquor that evaporates from oak barrels during ageing.
The fragrance contains cognac essence, which gives it its natural caramel colour. It opens with cognac oil, then a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute, before a finish of sandalwood, praline and vanilla.
Benoist Lapouza also created Angels' Share Paradis, the most intense interpretation of Angels' Share as an extrait de parfum, inspired by an exceptional liqueur aged in oak barrels: a raspberry liqueur and Bulgarian rose oil meet a generous praline accord and Venezuelan tonka bean absolute.
