Kilian Angels' Share Eau de Parfum is one of the most celebrated gourmand-oriental fragrances of the past decade — a rich, intoxicating composition inspired by the French tradition of cognac ageing, where the portion of spirit that evaporates from the barrel is called the "angel's share." The fragrance captures that spirit of slow, luxurious transformation in liquid form, and it has built an extraordinary reputation for being both beautiful and utterly addictive. The opening is warm and immediately compelling — cognac, bergamot and cinnamon arrive together with a boozy brightness that is distinctly festive without being cloying. The heart develops a smooth, barrel-aged warmth built around sandalwood and tonka bean, with the cinnamon weaving persistently through the composition and keeping it lively. The base is the fragrance's crowning achievement: a rich, rounded woody amber foundation that carries for an exceptional length of time — ten or more hours on most skin types — with a dry-down that genuinely improves as the hours pass. Angels' Share is the standard by which other gourmand orientals are measured.
