KILIAN PARIS Angels' Share Eau de Parfum

This scent is a gourmande’s dream. Caramelized cinnamon apple and smooth, gold cognac. It’s definitely a holiday party scent, though I’ve been finding myself using it almost every day since I’ve purchased the full bottle a week ago. It’s just… irresistible to my nose. It reminds me of all the cozy activities I enjoy during the coldest months - eating spiced pastries; going on a theater date with my love in my favorite winter coat; walking through sparkling, lively Christmas markets… It’s unapologetically gourmand. Sweet, spicy, warm, utterly edible.

Sillage is excellent, and it lasts 10 hours easy on my skin. I originally was interested in purchasing Apple Brandy on the Rocks, but I’m so glad I tested this one as well. I couldn’t believe how heavenly my wrist smelled for the entire rest of the day. Angel’s Share is not for everybody… but if you want to smell like you’ve been baking cinnamon buns all day in lacy underwear to winter jazz, this is the one.

FaisalBio really hit the nail on the head. The opening shares considerable similarities to Ambre Narguile, Oajan and the Ethyl Maltol sweetness found in BR540. The drydown is considerably less sweet, more oak woody and shares no resemblance to the aforementioned fragrances. I do detect hints of Single Malt in the drydown however.

It's almost as if Kilian took the very best qualities of those previously mentioned fragrances and made this. I enjoy the combination, and I can't imagine many disliking it but I must say I'm disappointed that it's not more unique.

I recommend holding off on blind buying if you already own Ambre Narguile, Oajan, Apple Brandy or Single Malt. Test first.

I highly recommend this for anyone else looking for a sweet cinnamon fragrance! It really is fantastic.

Sold out all over and getting hyped online (without free bottles it seems - a positive indicator). I went to Saks to try it, even though they were sold out, and it was an instant love. Boozy opening that reminded me more of a Buffalo Trace bourbon followed quickly by cinnamon and vanilla and oak. Tonka makes itself known too but, unlike something like Feve Delicieuse where the tonka comes off as plastic-y and overbearing to me, the tonka here plays a much more minor or blended note.

If you’ve smelled Ambre Narguile or Oajan you definitely get the effect of Angel’s Share but I prefer this to those. Certainly performs like Oajan while having the AN smoothness.

Normally I’m pretty - okay extremely - skeptical of hype, especially youtube hype. Too often I am left confused why a bottle gets huge praise while others get no attention. This time, though, it was instant love and an immediate Selfridges order, since it’s all sold out currently stateside.

Longevity was 12+ hours on my dry skin. Sillage was strong for 1-2 hours and noticeable for another 6+. Truly potent.

Dry cinnamon. Boozy cognac. Silky, nutty praline. Cosy vanilla. Warm oak barrels. Delicious without smelling straight up like a food or drink.
It was love at first sniff for me.
Angels’ Share is so addictive I can’t stop smelling my wrist when I wear it.
It’s beautiful for night time: alluring & downright irresistible to me. The spiciness makes it perfect for the Holiday party season.
Are we allowed to swear here? I won’t just in case but holy moly this is perfection to my nose. Overpriced? Probably. But in my opinion it’s better than Oajan, Invite Only 23, Grand Soir, Herod, Lost Cherry etc etc. This genre of fragrance is currently super popular but this is my all time favourite fragrance, hands down, period, the end.

What a day with this fragrance today! I’ve been wearing this for about a month. I had received a few compliments but nothing like today. Received 3 unsolicited compliments. First one I was at state and liberty picking up a suit and the female who was helping me said I smell amazing and I told her what the fragrance was and she looked it up and ordered it right there on the spot. About a half hour later I was returning something at Banana republic and the cashier said he has to know what I’m wearing. He was wearing a mask and was across the counter from me. I couldn’t believe he could smell it with a mask and about five feet from me. The final compliment I was walking into the store and a guy walking behind me said “What are you wearing Prada”? I told him what it was and asked if I had too much on and he said “ not at all”. Love days like this when your scent is on fire getting compliments left and right.
