A boozy, fruity extrait that intensifies the original Angels' Share

By Vivir ·
By Kilian Angels' Share Paradis is a 2025 extrait de parfum from KILIAN Paris. It is part of The Liquors collection and is composed by Benoist Lapouza. This fragrance is a floral fruity gourmand flanker to the original Angels' Share, and it takes the boozy, sweet, woody DNA of its predecessor into richer, more intense territory. The original Angels' Share is known for its cognac, tonka bean, and oak profile. Paradis keeps that core but adds raspberry and Bulgarian rose. The result is a scent that feels more fruity and floral while remaining deeply gourmand. It is unisex, released in 2025, and available as an extrait de parfum. This review covers the notes, accords, scent evolution, performance, seasonality, occasions, target audience, pricing, and similar fragrances. It is based on verified data from the official Kilian page and Fragrantica.

Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes are bright and boozy. Raspberry provides a juicy, tart fruitiness. Cognac and liquor add a warm, alcoholic kick. The combination is sweet but not cloying, with a sparkling quality that feels like a cocktail.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

From 1-2 hours, the heart emerges. Tonka bean brings a creamy, almond-like sweetness. Bulgarian rose adds a floral, slightly powdery nuance. Caramel deepens the gourmand feel. The fragrance becomes richer and more rounded.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After 4+ hours, the base is woody and sweet. Oak and sandalwood provide structure and warmth. Praline and vanilla add a dessert-like sweetness. Oakmoss adds a subtle earthy, mossy facet that keeps the sweetness from becoming too simple. The drydown lasts for hours and remains close to the skin after the initial projection fades.
