Angels' Share by By Kilian is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women and men. Angels' Share was launched in 2020. The nose behind this fragrance is Benoist Lapouza. Top note is Cognac; middle notes are Cinnamon, Tonka Bean, Oak and Hedione; base notes are Vanilla, Praline, Sandalwood and Candied Almond. "Introducing a new olfactive family, Kilian Hennessy pays tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac-making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants for driving the night towards dawn. A first-time collaboration with French perfumer Benoit Lapouza, the perfume Angel's Share is Kilian Hennessy's most personal fragrance creation yet, inspired by his eighth-generation inheritance of Hennessy savoir-faire in cognac making. The perfume goes deep into the cellars of founder's mind and memory, and into its most mysterious dimension: "la part des anges" or "angels' share"— an evaporation of liquor in oak barrels that lifts, while aging, like a silent offering to the gods. Much like a Master Perfumer who crafts accords and essences in a perfume, a Master Blender combines the eaux-de-vie in perfect proportions for an exceptional cognac. Angels' Share contains the essence of Cognac derived from the liquor to lend it a natural caramel color. Opening with cognac oil, upon a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and Tonka bean absolute, the scent's long-lasting notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla make for a delicious finish, a rare concoction only angels should experience." Notes: Cognac, Tonka Bean and Oak wood.

Angels' Share is a well-composed niche fragrance with an impressive scent profile of apple pie, cognac, and spice that genuinely resonates with many in the community. However, it's severely hampered by unpredictable performance—some experience strong projection while others find it barely noticeable—and longevity issues that appear batch-dependent. Despite these concerns, it maintains solid community appreciation and recognition.
