Angels' Share was born of Kilian Hennessy's childhood memories in the family cellars. Cognac oil opens the composition on a fruity, boozy note, immediately warmed by oak absolute and cinnamon.
The base, of tonka bean and sandalwood, takes on hints of praline and vanilla. A warm, hushed gourmand, like an evening by the fire.

Angels' Share in detail
Kilian Paris is the house of Kilian Hennessy, heir to a great cognac family. Angels' Share pays tribute to that world: its name refers to the "angels' share", the portion of spirit that evaporates from the casks during ageing. Benoist Lapouza turned it into a warm, spicy woody gourmand.
The official pyramid is short and easy to read. At the top, cognac brings a fruity, liqueur-like note. The heart pairs oak, the wood of the casks, with cinnamon, which warms the whole. The base brings together tonka bean and sandalwood, a soft foundation with praline accents.
Angels' Share is worn in the evening, in autumn and winter: an end-of-year party, a dinner, a night by the fire.
Three gourmand fragrances in our catalogue come close: Enigma Pour Homme by Roja Parfums shares cognac and sandalwood, with tobacco; Sugar Addict by Born To Stand Out brings together cinnamon and tonka bean in a sweeter version; Triumph of Bacchus Extrait by Argos pairs tonka bean and sandalwood with ripe fruit and rum.
