In this new episode of “Off With Nose,” Kilian Hennessy, founder and creative director of Kilian Paris, reveals the secrets behind the new fragrance Angels’ Share On the Rocks in an exclusive video.
Following the success of Angels’ Share Paradis and its raspberry twist, this variation introduces a new harmony with a sparkling citrus opening (lemon, mandarin, orange) and an aldehydic facet. A frosted breath, served “on the rocks.”
What remains: the Angels’ Share formula
Angels’ Share On the Rocks is based on a clear principle: the original Eau de Parfum formula remains unchanged. Nothing has been modified, removed, or rebalanced. Angels’ Share remains Angels’ Share—with its cognac heart, its amber warmth, and its memorable olfactory signature.
New additions
The opening of On the Rocks is entirely new. Five citrus notes in overdose—bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, orange, and bitter orange—are enhanced by an aldehydic accord. This accord shifts the citrus from fruity to abstract: less juicy, more icy, more mineral. “On the rocks” is not just a poetic metaphor—it is a chemically constructed sensation.
Angels’ Share and Angels’ Share On the Rocks are available in our Kilian Paris selection below.
