Kilian Angels' Share is £215 for 50ml. It is the boozy cognac scent everyone wants, and cheap dupes of it turn to flat sugar by the afternoon. If you want the cognac, cinnamon and tonka signature at full strength for £40, here is our pick, with our own numbers to back it.
Aged Gold, our take on Angels' Share by Kilian Paris. 35% Extrait, 7+ hours guaranteed, 60-day money-back. Try the 5ml for £6.99, or the 50ml at £40 (buy any 2, get 1 free).
Quick verdict: Aged Gold sold 14 bottles in the last 90 days, which makes it the best seller of the three Kilian takes we make. Its first 2 reviewers rated it 5.0 (a small sample, and we are saying so). If you can tell it from the £215 bottle, you have 60 days to get your money back, even after wearing it.

Why Aged Gold is a strong Angels' Share dupe
- 35% Extrait. Boozy gourmands live or die on concentration. Weak oil means the cognac opening is gone in an hour and you are left with plain vanilla. Ours is 35%, and we print it.
- Same signature. Cognac, cinnamon and oak up top, hazelnut and tonka in the heart, praline, vanilla and sandalwood underneath.
- £40 instead of £215. Five bottles of ours cost less than one 50ml of theirs.
- Our best-selling Kilian take. 14 bottles in 90 days, ahead of Delight (our Love Don't Be Shy take) on 12.
- 7+ hours guaranteed, with a 60-day money-back guarantee.
- Test it first with a 5ml sampler for £6.99.
The notes in full
Kilian lists cognac up top, oak and cinnamon in the heart, and tonka bean and sandalwood in the base, with praline, vanilla and hazelnut in the description. Perfumer Benoist Lapouza built it in 2020. Aged Gold follows the same structure:
- Top: Cognac, Cinnamon, Oak
- Heart: Hazelnut, Tonka Bean
- Base: Praline, Vanilla, Sandalwood
We make all three: Angels' Share, Angels' Share Paradis and Love Don't Be Shy
Three of Kilian's best-known scents have an Aromara take, so we can compare them with a sales sheet instead of an opinion. In the last 90 days Aged Gold sold 14 bottles, Delight (Love Don't Be Shy) sold 12, and Aged Gold Paradis (the raspberry and rose Paradis version) sold fewer than either.
On reviews the picture flips. Delight has 26 reviews at 4.7. Aged Gold has 2 at 5.0. So if you want the safest bet, Delight has the longer track record. If you want cognac and praline rather than marshmallow and orange blossom, pick Aged Gold. The full breakdown is in Love Don't Be Shy vs Angels' Share. The Paradis version is Aged Gold Paradis.
