Angel Share

Kilian Hennessy's new fragrance, Angel's Share, is a deeply personal creation that pays homage to his heritage as an heir to the renowned French cognac-making family. Collaborating with French perfumer Benoit Lapouza, Kilian Hennessy delves into the depths of his family's expertise in cognac production to create a fragrance that captures the essence of "la part des anges" or "angels' share" – the evaporation of liquor in oak barrels during aging. The perfume is a reflection of the craftsmanship and artistry found in both perfumery and cognac making. Just as a Master Perfumer skillfully combines accords and essences, a Master Blender expertly blends eaux-de-vie to create exceptional cognac. Angel's Share contains the essence of cognac derived from the liquor, imparting a natural caramel color and a rich, intoxicating character.

The fragrance opens with the luxurious aroma of cognac oil, immediately transporting you to the cellars where this precious spirit ages. The scent then unfolds with a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence, and Tonka bean absolute, evoking the woody and spicy facets of aged cognac. These notes create a warm and inviting ambiance, reminiscent of the barrels in the cellar.

As the fragrance develops, the long-lasting notes of sandalwood, praline, and vanilla emerge, adding a touch of sweetness and depth. These elements contribute to the delicious and alluring finish of Angel's Share, creating a rare concoction that only the angels should experience.
