By Kilian Angels' Share — a 2020 unisex EDP from Kilian Hennessy (heir to the Hennessy cognac dynasty), the collection's TikTok-star "cognac-tonka-praline" gourmand. Perfumer Benoist Lapouza opens on a cognac accord and warm cinnamon spice, the heart settles on soft-woven oak in the middle, and the base creates a saturated gourmand aura of praline, tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood. The name refers to the part of cognac that evaporates from the barrel ("the angels' share") — a direct bridge from Hennessy family history into perfumery. Sillage very strong, longevity 10-12 hours. Autumn-winter, evening-night, birthdays, dating, compliment-magnet contexts.
PERFUME LONGEVITY
AT WHAT DISTANCE IT IS SENSED
By Kilian Angels' Share — the niche-gourmand peak of cognac, tonka and praline
By Kilian Angels' Share is the 2020 unisex EDP from By Kilian, the niche house founded by Kilian Hennessy, heir to the Hennessy cognac dynasty. Often typed as "Kilian Angels Share", "Angels Share perfume", "By Kilian Angels". The name means "the angels' share" — referencing the part of cognac that evaporates from the barrel in distillation, "attributed to the angels". A direct bridge from Hennessy family history into perfumery.
The gourmand weave of cognac, praline and tonka
Perfumer Benoist Lapouza (creator of Kilian Roses on Ice) opens on a cognac accord and a warm cinnamon spice — a dessert-bar-style entry, the perfumery version of the Hermès distillery atmosphere. The heart settles a soft-woven oak middle — the vanilla-pale core cognac gathers from oak barrels during aging. The base carries the composition's real story: praline (almond-sugar caramel), tonka bean, vanilla and sandalwood form a saturated gourmand aura. Sillage very strong, longevity 10-12 hours.
Who Angels' Share is for, and where
Most popular for ages 25-55. For seekers of niche gourmand, TikTok-star perfume admirers and those drawn to the Hennessy cognac story. Ideal seasonally for autumn-winter — the cognac-tonka base opens a richer aura in cold weather. Place: evening-night events, birthdays, dating, restaurants, compliment-magnet contexts. Led the "viral perfume" category on TikTok during 2020-2023.
