‘The perfect balance of icy freshness and luscious depth. A new way to surrender to temptation. The perfume: Inspired by the way Kilian Hennessy enjoys cognac—on the rocks—this creation reimagines the Angels’ Share indulgence. The exclusive “On the Rocks” accord, a defining signature of KILIAN PARIS, elevates the experience with a zesty cocktail of Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Aldehydes, bringing a crystalline chill to this luxurious elixir. This sparkling freshness unfolds into the slow warmth of Cognac Essence, enriched by Myrrh Resin and Tonka Bean Absolute, balancing frosty brightness with a smooth, amber allure.’ – Heinemann
‘KILIAN PARIS introduces Angel’s Share on the Rocks, the newest member of the Angels’ Share fragrance family. This new creation brings Kilian Hennessy’s signature On the Rocks accord to life, masterfully blended with the cognac-inspired fragrance of Angels’ Share. Perfectly chilled, Angels’ Share on the Rocks captures the cognac’s flavor the way Kilian prefers—on ice. “My father and grandfather always drank cognac neat. I’m the one who dared to commit this ‘sacrilege.’ For me, an ice-cold sip brings out the essence of cognac,” says Kilian Hennessy, founder and creative director of KILIAN PARIS. Served in a frosted glass bottle, Angels’ Share on the Rocks is a refreshing gourmand cocktail that opens with an extra dose of bitter orange in the on-the-rocks accord. A tangy cocktail of grapefruit oil, lemon oil, and Italian bergamot meets the fresh notes of aldehydes, elevating the traditional top notes to a refreshing and cool level. The creation, created in collaboration with perfumer Benoist Lapouza, quickly develops into a rich cognac essence, opening with the signature on-the-rocks accord of bitter orange. Cinnamon bark oil from Laos and tonka bean absolute from Venezuela unfold in the warm amber heart, lending the fragrance its spicy-sweet depth. The composition is rounded off by persistent notes of oak absolute, expressing refined elegance and lasting warmth. Just as Kilian Hennessy prefers, Angels’ Share on the Rocks embodies the feeling of enjoying cognac on ice, with the cold of the ice cubes cooling the bottom of the glass.’ – Prestige Magazin (Translated)
