What Reddit owners say
4/5“🧴 **Angels' Share** by *Kilian*”
4/5 LongevitySweetness“If you like Oajan, you probably like Angels Share, which means you will probably like Gulf Orchid Sweet Heaven Ice. It is a fresh plum twist on Kilian Angels share, and it is of great quality, performs well and lasts 10+ hours. If Angels share and Oajan are both apple pies, this fragrance is a plum pie with fresh plums on top. It is one of the only 10/10 fragrances in my collection. It is wearable in all seasons, but not on hot summer days. It shines in spring and autumn, in my opinion. It is not too heavy like the OG and not too fresh to where it loses that DNA.”
5/5“It's everything that Angels' Share wishes it could be.”
5/5“Omg what an amazing collection!! I own some of the same ones and loveeee them!! Actually just got a little sample of Angels Share by Kilian yesterday and almost levitated, I think I need the full size now but also have so many others already 😭😭 Also on slide 2- is the Nest one that you have the Indigo one or the Wisteria one?? I have heard so many good things about Indigo and mistakenly bought the Wisteria one at Nordstrom rack a few weeks ago, and I am just not loving the scent at all but it was on final sale :( curious if you like that one!!!”
5/5 Formal“trying the og ambre narguile after wearing oajan and angels' share.”

2/5“Angels' Share is just syrupy booze and wooden barrel on my skin. I don't get any of the notes that cause the "apple pie" association that other people have. It's really weird because my skin normally amplifies cinnamon. It doesn't smell bad but I was disappointed not to smell what most people describe it as.”
5/5“The second picture shows the four Julianna's perfumes I have: two of their own creations and two dupes (Angels Share Paradis and a combo of Kilian Princess with Apple brandy on the rocks). My favorite Guerlains are the Amour Celeste, Peche Mirage, and the Limon Verde Aqua Allegoria.”
5/5 ProjectionValue“I'm not a gourmand person (I only own Kilian Angels Share) so a lot of promoted ME perfumes do not speak to me.”
2/5 Fresh & clean“Oh, yes, I tried Apple brandy on the rocks. I liked it initially, but it wasn't really "me". Quite boozy and masculine. I think I did try DKNY a long time ago, and it did not seem to resonate with me, for the same reason as Toy 2. Apple Love by Ellis Brooklyn was underwhelming to me as well. Not bad, not good. Another apple one I'm thinking of is Angels' Share. Not crisp or clean, but a warm gourmand, like an apple pie.”
2/5“I have to be careful with some wood notes, like in angels share, after it starts to dry down, the sandalwood (?) part starts to smell overly sour on me. My skin also pulls out smoky smells to the point where everything else is overpowered If something doesn't smell good on my skin I just try spraying it on my clothes instead”
5/5 Summer“This is my top ten full size bottles in my collection so far. Angels' Share and Chanel Le Lion are specifically for cooler weather and LV Pacific Chill and PDM Perseus are specifically for hot weather, but the rest are amazing in any conditions. https://preview.redd.it/yqqqj03p8xnh1.jpeg?width=4675&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=009e88640988a514981f43a111bf125ca8a28174”
5/5“My favorite perfume is Killian's Angel share. I wear it all year round!”
4/5“I have heard good things about angels share, might have to the montagne dupe”
5/5 Summer“Yes Valentino is great I have all of them 7 or 8 I think it is coral fantasy and the extra dose are my favorites . If you like the Angel Share then you will love the Angel Share on the rocks it is phenomenal for hot summer days.”
4/5“Niche - Not really many i've tried that I genuinely enjoy, and I haven't owned any, but out of the ones i've tried I really liked PDM Oajan, Xerjoff naxos, and Killian's Angel share Middle Eastern - Rayhaan Italia, Kismet Magic”
5/5 Summer“The code EDP as I have code Profumo, they're pretty much the same fragrance ( I love it in end of summer it's so good ) also Angels share, Prada lhomme and the Le Beau 👌🏻👌🏻 https://preview.redd.it/78q7oytj5vhh1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3c856d3501a6b376b291a8c68c70b6304f40f2e5”
4/5“If you dont like Angel Share dont force it tbh. It's a great smell, imo, however i've had people say i smell like a McDonalds Apple Pie...”
4/5 Compliments“I have mojave ghost absolu and angels share OTR otw, from the samples i tried they are pretty great. Have imagination as well, its pretty outstanding and probably my top 2 with aventus cologne, wear it often and get compliments with those two.”
4/5“https://preview.redd.it/3q530hyyenth1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50b6c1cfa0b948cca7d00e9ac12c4f8a68a1573d Angels Share on the rocks by Kilian. That time of year. I layered a couple sprays of AS Paradis to see how it worked. It's nice, but I won't buy a bottle unless I see a great deal, I think.”
4/5“It's shooting directly for Angels' Share on the Rocks, does a good job of getting that feel, but not a 1 to 1 in my opinion. I have a post on it, feel free to take a look.”
4/5“Thanks for replying!!! I'm glad I got the good experience. Though I did kinda wanna smell the tires lol becuz all the posts I saw about this fragrance said so and weirdly I was looking forward to it 🤣 I think I've found boozy notes smell good on me luckily. Angels share smells like a nice boozed up apple cinnamon pie.”
5/5“Half of my Angel Share bottle to my best friend. He has a bougie decant that he reuses so it's perfect! Swiss Arabian Patchouli to the homie as well. He loves patchouli but this one is a touch to masc on me. Also half of my Rifaqaat bottle that's supposed to be a YSL dupe.”
5/5 Fall“I gave my bottle of Kilian Angels' Share to my husband just the other day. It smells amazing on him, and now I'm cleared of guilt to replace it with Sorce Stuck on You for a fall apple fragrance. Win win.”
4/5“I have a sample of Angels share on the rocks- I'll have to give it another proper sniff test! That sounds so yummy 🤤”
5/5“Wow! I am dying to get her. Right now, I wear the knock off ( Arabian) it's good but still not angel share. I am obsessed with that DNA. Congrats on an awesome deal.”
5/5 Spring“Shout out to Carl & 🍩 in the background over there. Keen to try this one tho, I didn't think OG angels share would really be ‘my style' whatever that means, but I got a decant out of curiosity and am going through it fast even tho it's spring here. Love aldehydes, so on the rocks must be even better right!”
5/5“I love Angels Share and especially Angels Share Paradis. I've had decants and dupes of them, but if the perfume money fairy came into play, I'd get 50ml of the OG and 30ml of the Paradis (or scrounge up a few more pesos and just buy the 100ml Paradis).”
4/5“Examples are: Initio Oud For Greatness, Killian Angels Share, Initio Atomic Rose, MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold. Although I own these, I have tried buying dupes of these, but still haven't found any good ones.”
5/5“I have this. It's like a gourmand Angel Share. Smells like a bread basket. I wore it for the first time last week and I personally loved it. Performance was very good, especially compared to Lataffa New York which I wore today. Unfortunately, I never smelt the other scent that you posted. Sorry.”
5/5 Batches & reformulation“That stinks. (Literally!) I have the same issue with Kilian Angels' Share On The Rocks. Everyone loves it, but when I spray it, I feel a rancid scent, almost like fish sauce. Takes at least 33 minutes until it starts to feel ok. Many have told me my decant may have been from a bad batch. Kilian Angels' Share On The Rocks. Meanwhile, I absolutely love Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks!”
5/5 Unique“Then I have my creed and my Dior‘s you know Gucci guilty angels share by Killian and also Apple brandy on the rocks by Killian. I have lots of men's cologne and I have the deal in blue and I have a lot of Arabic colognes and they tend to last a lot longer because they have more oil on them and they smell amazing and I have a lot of different kinds of those.”
1/5 SweetnessValue“Kamrah is absolute and utter trash. Smells cheap and so sweet you can choke out a building ! If you have ever smelled a well executed classy version of that sweeter gourmand Christmasy dna ( Oajan. Angels share. Khaltat night. Ambre narguile. Montale infinity etc) you will just straight up be disgusted by kamrah. I bought into the hype like 2 years ago and had to sell the bottle because it didn't get better after mazeratig for 6 months - horribly sweet fragrance that would remind you of red light district .”
5/5 Date night“Angel share best smelling & made for dates. Naxos can be too much & from my experience can come off old mannish, women haven't liked it on me but actually loved angel share.”
2/5“I have tried Angel Share and didn't like the warm sweetness and hence have been staying away from those but maybe I should give it another shot.”
5/5“I have angels share paradis and its a masterpiece, would highly reccomend if you find it on discount”
5/5 Fresh & cleanValue“Depends on what fragrance you're talking about, the fresh lineup and on the rocks flankers have given me anywhere from 4-7 hours. The liquors I've experienced 6-10, angels share works like crazy on my skin, 8 hours straight of projection and sillage and lingers around for much longer. By Kilian is one of my favourite houses but it's not worth the retail price (arguably no fragrances are worth hundreds of dollars) but they are readily available on the grey and second hand markets for near half price and I think that's much more reasonable.”
1/5“I like that until you said angel share I absolutely hate that. I was going to blind buy it but they're out of stock so will see when I get those samples.”
5/5 ComplimentsSweetness“i used to be a club promoter i'd get compliments on a regular basis, i wear angle share or initio side effect girls LOVE angel share the compliments are usually something along the line of i'd eat you up because of how sweet it is, one of the compliments that sticks out to me is when a girl told me i smell like a sexy supervillain and honestly i get it side effect does give off a dark mysterious vibe.”
2/5“I have 2ml vial of this. I didn't like it..in general I don't like Angel Share DNA. I have a full nearly unused bottle of Kismet Magic from Maison Alhambra collecting dust.”
2/5 SweetnessOffice“I bought decant of Kilians Angel Share from Scentoria and received it yesterday, it's too sweet. I doubt even in winters i will be able to wear it to office.”
