Kilian Hennessy's inspiration: Introducing a new olfactory family, Kilian Hennessy pays tribute to his heritage as heir to the famous French cognac family and his exquisite olfactory highs that drive the night to dawn. A first-time collaboration with French perfumer Benoit Lapouza, Angel's Share perfume is Kilian Hennessy's most personal fragrance creation yet, inspired by his eighth-generation legacy of Hennessy's savoir-faire in cognac-making. The perfume penetrates deep into the cellars of the founder's thoughts and memories and into its most mysterious dimension: “la part des anges” or “angels' share” – an evaporation of liqueur in oak barrels that rises like a silent victim during aging to the gods.
The Perfume: Much like a master perfumer creating accords and essences in a perfume, a master blender combines the eaux-de-vie in perfect proportions for an exceptional cognac. Angels' Share contains the essence of cognac extracted from the liqueur to give it a natural caramel color. Opening with cognac oil, atop a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and tonka bean absolute, the lingering notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla provide a delicious finish, a rare concoction only angels should experience.
Fragrance notes: cognac, tonka bean and oak wood
