Angels' Share Paradis

An intense, boozy extrait that transforms Angels’ Share with a burst of raspberry liqueur over cognac, melting into Bulgarian rose and cinnamon before sinking into a plush tonka and oak drydown. Opulent, gourmand‑woody and long‑lasting, it feels like a raspberry‑tinted digestif shared by candlelight.

Scent Development and Character

A rich raspberry liqueur accord splashes over warm cognac, immediately suggesting a boozy, ruby‑tinted take on the original Angels’ Share. As it settles, luminous Bulgarian rose oil rises through the liquor, softening the alcohol bite while cinnamon threads a dry, spicy warmth through the heart. The drydown turns deeply gourmand‑woody: tonka bean absolute builds an ambered, nutty sweetness that fuses with the toasted grain and barrel facets of oak, creating a praline‑tinged trail that feels like dessert and digestif in one. Throughout, the Angels’ Share DNA remains, but dressed in brighter fruit and a more opulent, extrait‑weight texture.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best suited to cool evenings, special occasions and intimate gatherings where its boozy sweetness and dense extrait texture can fully unfold. The raspberry and rose lift keep it polished enough for dressed‑up nights out, while the rich tonka‑oak base makes it ideal for lingering dinners and late‑night bars rather than hot, casual daytime wear. Best suited to autumn and winter, with enough sweetness and warmth for cool spring evenings but likely too dense for hot summer days. Sillage is Above‑average sillage that forms a noticeable aura at close to medium range, especially in the first hours, before softening into a more intimate trail. Longevity is Long‑lasting, with the extrait concentration typically remaining noticeable on skin for most of the day and into the evening (around 8–10 hours) with lighter traces beyond.

Perfumer and Bottle

Released in 2025, this is presented as Extrait de Parfum and credited to Benoist Lapouza. A heavy, faceted glass flacon from Kilian’s The Liquors collection, with deep amber juice evocative of aged cognac and a sculpted design inspired by Art Deco crystal tumblers. It is topped with a precious oakwood cap that recalls cognac barrels and features metallic detailing, and the bottle is designed to be refillable.
