Kilian Angel's Share Eau de Parfum is a plush boozy gourmand that feels like stepping into a warm cellar lined with cognac barrels. A rich cognac accord rises first, laced with cinnamon and tonka, then eases into toasted oak and praline over creamy vanilla and sandalwood. The result is smooth, enveloping and elegant, a unisex signature that turns heads on cool evenings and dressed-up days alike.
Launch and Perfumer
Launched in 2020. Perfumer Benoist Lapouza. Created as a tribute to Kilian Hennessy’s cognac heritage and the poetic idea of the angels’ share that evaporates from aging barrels.

Story and Positioning
Angel’s Share inaugurates The Liquors collection, translating the craft of blending eaux de vie into perfumery with cognac essence, oak absolute, and tonka in a deliciously modern composition. The line has since expanded with special editions and twists, including a Fifteen-Year Anniversary design in 2022, a French Montana collaboration bottle, and new expressions like Angel’s Share Paradis in 2025 and Angel’s Share On The Rocks in 2025 that riff on the original’s cognac theme. If you love plush amber gourmands with a refined cocktail character, this sits at the top of the genre for evening wear, celebrations, and gifting.
Bottle and Design
The flacon resembles an Art Deco tumbler with weighty faceted glass engraved in the K motif to catch the light. A golden diamond plaque fronts the bottle, and the whole presentation feels like a keepsake from a speakeasy bar cart. Built to be refilled, it balances luxury with longevity on the vanity.
