KILIAN PARIS ANGELS' SHARE {REVIEW}

In the run up to Mother's Day here in South Africa I have another 

fragrance review.

This was another generous deluxe sample size that was part of the 

Skins Cosmetics Christmas box.

Here is some background to the brand

KILIAN PARIS

Heir to a long line of French cognac makers who were pioneers in luxury, 

Kilian Hennessy (Hennessy Dynasty) decided to take up the torch

 of family tradition. 

Creating a new luxury brand was definitely a challenge worthy of 

his predecessors, and in 2007, 

Kilian launched his own namesake fragrance house.

The brand is a true reflection of not only his ambition and distinct personality,

 but is also a perfect alliance between elegance and uncompromising luxury.

His “eco-luxe” philosophy that each bottle can be refilled and kept for a 

lifetime catapulted the brand to the top of the fragrance market and into

 a niche of its very own. 

Today, the world of Kilian includes more than 35 scents, spanning across 

5 distinctly unique fragrance collections.

It also falls under the Estée Lauder group of companies.

Angels' Share by KILIAN Paris 

is a fragrance from the Liquors collection, inspired by the heritage 

of Kilian Hennessy, with woody notes accompanied

 by cognac, hazelnut and oak.

Angels’ Share contains the essence of Cognac derived from the liquor 

to lend it a natural caramel colour. 

Opening with cognac oil, upon a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence

 and Tonka bean absolute, the scent’s long-lasting notes of sandalwood,

 praline and vanilla make for a delicious finish, a rare concoction 

only angels should experience.

This is a fragrance that I should not like, it's dark, woody and intense,

 the exact opposite from my usual sparkling, light, bright, fruity 

yet I like it, not enough to purchase a bottle, but enough for me

 to continue to enjoy my beautiful deluxe size throughout this winter.

Not an ideal scent for the South African summer but one

to enjoy in the cooler winter months. Whilst I would say that this 

has a more masculine appeal, I'm sure there are many females 

that would enjoy this rather unique and distinct offering from Kilian.

 As you can imagine it is a

statement fragrance and has "staying" power and definitely one

to try, in-store, before you buy.
