Interesting story about this fragrance. In later November 2020 I got a sample of this and Roses on Ice from my local Holt Renfrew. When I got home I sprayed the Angel's Share on my right left hand and the Roses on Ice on the right. I liked Rose of Ice but I could not stop smelling the Angel's Share on the left. I was so enamored by it, I e-mailed the By Kilian ambassador immediately and asked if he could set aside a bottle for me until the next time I could make into the store and he did so. Meanwhile, the fragrance gained more and more buzz and sold out across Canada and there was only one bottle left in stock anywhere which was the one set aside for me. My By Kilian ambassador was getting e-mails and calls from other ambassadors throughout Canada from other Holts asking him to send them the bottle but he refused as he had reserved it for me. The day arrived when I could finally get to the store to pick up my bottle and my By Kilian ambassador had hidden my bottle deep in one of the cupboards of his booth, in a bag underneath a bunch of official By Kilian blotter cards so that no one would find it and sell it when he wasn't around. He went above and beyond to make sure that I would have my bottle. As for this review, I'm not a perfumer, so I can't really pick up whether there are naturals or not. I just love the way this smells. I love the performance on my skin. I love the presentation, but I agree, the cap should be glass, too.

[@grrrrrddd]

Make that bottle last, nothing better than a good story behind the scent you put on your skin🤌

[@jarridsteel6229]

@@grrrrrddd I use it sparingly because it quite literally was the last bottle available in Canada of the very first batch of Angel's Share. I've not smelled subsequent batches but there will never be another first batch. Luckily a little goes a long way. Two sprays lasts all day.

[@charliebad]

What a nice story. Enjoy 😊

[@wildflowers100]

Aaron, your reviews are like poetry to my ears. Your passion shines through. I love learning about the musks and all the different components. 💜🦄

[@roygale2543]

Every time you do a review its like a school day!!! I learn something everytime. Its brilliant, keep up the great work 👍👍

[@keithgray1221]

Good review. Having Bergamot and the other notes you mentioned would make it awesome. I rarely wear this, think I've got used to more naturals so maybe that's why. Actually, just having a fresh note of orange and a floral note of rose would brighten this up beautifully.

[@Stephtmayo]

Love your vids and your love for perfumery! ❤️❤️

[@phoebetsau9635]

Thank you for the insightful review! I love Angels Share so much because of its booziness and I get compliments whenever I wear it. I’m actually glad that it doesn’t have bergamot because it seems like almost all fragrances nowadays contain bergamot. Opting out bergamot in this dark boozy gourmand actually make it more unique.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I totally agree!

[@dannymartinez3600]

Agree with you on the bergamot being on the top of almost every fragrance. It’s difficult to find something that doesn’t include it or tonka. Although I live thicker, dark, round fragrances so I guess I’m not as tired of tonka.

[@almatoledo1608]

I am mesmerized. I just discovered you. Fabulous opening lines and valuable education.

[@Raj.Sakaria]

Great timing! I’m debating between Naxos and Angels share. I think I’ll buy Naxos because it’s more versatile.

[@wendyfrench8042]

You actually explain why a scent performs the way it does and I’m in awe. I would love to be able to break something down in that detail just by smelling it, but I can’t even tell you the difference between certain fruits (except guava, etc) and certain florals.

[@solomonsvineyard5371]

What's up my brother I love that you are previewing this frag. Outstanding as always thanks my friend

[@Nickle314]

The packaging is one of the best I've come across. It works on lots of levels. One being it is indicative of what's in the bottle. Same with the colour of the juice.

[@stefgyzels5977]

OMGosh! This scent is my everything. 👍

[@christopherbird2739]

Great review i really like this one, the opening is gorgeous

[@Str4vv]

Love your content, both scents ans videos. One thing I often think about: A bit of sound dampening mats would do wonders for the acoustic quality of your videos! It makes the voice more smooooth and deep, filtering excess tinny rattle and echo which is over-interpreted by the mic. Cheers and keep up the great work!

[@Lordsofchaospodcast]

Nah. Just the get NS1 plug-in from waves. Is one one knob and cant be any easier to use. It’s only 30 bucks and it will make the audio in your video sound professional. Cause it sounds cheap right now. Why would someone make such high quality video when it sounds like shit?

[@keithgray1221]

Really interesting review Aaron. I totally agree with you. I just can't get on with this one, there's something odd in it, closest I can describe it is 'sour'. Your suggestions to improve it would be awesome, something fresh and fruity in the top and a beautiful floral in the mid. I think my nose must gravitate to naturals as well, I'm just starting to understand that thanks to you. What you say makes total sense to me. In the zone man! 👍

[@stuartbarnhill2795]

Good evening Aaron from North Carolina USA, enjoyed your take on "Angel's Share ", really appreciate your expertise on fragrances, be safe and BLESSED

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Thanks for sharing!

[@topscentsmexico9324]

Hi Greetings from Mexico, i have a Facebook and you are one that always put on the post , the best youtuber and more profesional . ONE OF THE BEST

[@texasfan8892]

This is a great scent and really easy to love in my opinion but my biggest issue with the Kilian house in general is that most of their fragrances feel too safe and too easy to wear for the price. I think anyone who pays these types of prices on a fragrance, unless they're just another fan boy/fan girl of a brand (which Kilian has plenty of) then should demand something that's really going to stand out.

[@willowwookie9614]

I've tried to buy angel share a couple of times but it has sold out but all of a sudden Naxos has peaked my interest more. Good vid mate 👍

[@jesussalas4974]

Both amazing. Naxos is my favorite

[@peterrak9554]

Angel share is amazing 🤩

[@Scents4em]

I just received a sample of Angels Share and expected to be blown away given the rave reviews it received. Instead, I was a little let down. It didn’t smell special enough for the price they were charging. The sample was nice but I will never purchase a full bottle. I was really glad to hear you felt the similarly, Aaron. I thought I was missing something. Thank you for the review!

[@joedeshawnhughes2623]

Where did you obtain the sample?

[@celestestrayhorn7488]

Great review, as always. I, too, feel the dry down is a little off on me...a bit like toothpaste.

[@guillermobarajas7650]

I like how you were just enamored with the bottle at first. Never seen you pay so much attention to the packaging.

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

Would of loved glass top though

[@rustyshackleford17]

Kilian has phenomenal presentation. Unfortunately, it seems that the presentation is just as expensive as the actual juice inside it.

I recently purchased a sample of angels share and you are spot on as always. I was quite underwhelmed. I had high expectations based on all the reviewers hype surrounding this fragrance.🤷🏽‍♀️ Thank you for sharing your knowledge as always Aaron. Great review!🦄🦄🦄

[@Scents4em]

Same here! I was hoping for so much more. On the bright side, the disappointing sample saved us from spending $165 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@wendyfrench8042]

@@Scents4emit’s $250 now. Geeze. I got Cocktail Intense from Amazon and at first spray they smell identical, but after settling down I think I prefer C Intense because it’s smoother, less loud and “sharp”, but it doesn’t have the longevity to me. I’m becoming more sensitive to smells and really heavy anything gives me a headache - I don’t want my perfume to suffocate people or enter the room before I do.

[@likeasomebodehh]

Which one do you prefer? Angels’ share or initio’s side effect?

[@biggirlsdontcry6935]

I'd love to hear your opinion on orchid soleil by Tom ford- the solar side of black orchid

[@trizcub1851]

On my skin I didnt like the dry down. The opening was delicious and the dry down on the tester perfumed my room and makeup brushes that were close by. I will try it again on my skin n see what happens.

[@pepperbean243]

Lattafa must've listened to your suggestions when they made Khamrah: More fruits, More aromatics, more resins.

[@ThirtyThreeHipHop]

I have Khamrah, and like it, but Angel's Share just smelled like cigar on me when I tried it in the store.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

That's what I keep saying when people attack Khamrah.... I'mike they have the same notes, and more fruitier and improved ingredients. Kismet has the same profile as KAS.

[@itsironuyou]

Kamrah has an oud note which is very prominent in the dry down

[@tank6469]

So which one is the best for you guys?

[@KealanJamesBrady]

​@tank6469 honest khamrah. I love whiskey and wanted to love Angel's Share so much but I got more of an amaretto vibe. Khamrah is amazing for the price.

[@thefragrantician]

Your videos are an education. Can I just say that jasmin narcotique is one of the best jasmine scents I've ever smelt with monster longevity and sillage. I have tried angels share. It did not perform on me, and after watching this video I can only say if there is more naturals in essential oils it may last longer. Thanks Aaron ❤

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I have another heavy floral coming out in 2022. Using Tuberose absolute. Try Goddess next. It’s a beautiful sweet, fresh perfume based around Gardenia absolute. I think your love it as it’s deep and rich as the same time as heady and exotic

[@eaguilar1995ea]

Hope to see you review the new Invictus Victory smelled I actually liked it 👍

[@AaronTerenceHughes]

I'll check it out!

[@willfitz7175]

I found it to be mostly that faint woody, toasted caramel sweetness that some perceive Iso-E to be, and I went 'nose-blind' to it in 5 minutes. The girls in the office enjoyed it though. I was worried it would be closer to the namesake and smell too much like aged spirits. If that's what you are expecting, you may enjoy Tiziana Terenzi's Laudano Nero; that has a dark, rich, oily boozy feel to it but it can smell like you spilled a brandy snifter of cognac on your pants.

[@TheAntifluencer]

Do review 'Khamrah,' I think it's a better (and much more affordable) interpretation of Angels Share - fantastic scent.

[@ashleywhiting4109]

you should review packaging. haha. I know you want to. You are and artist, and a creative, and as one... I know you can't help but be interested in design and packaging. I for one would not be opposed to your opinion on packaging. Your awesome!

Hi Aaron, Is it possible to add naturals to “finished” perfumes? Would you be able to add the natural ingredients you suggested to Angel Share for example? It would be interesting to see if you get the results you hoped for. In fact, it would be interesting to have a segment where in each episode you add certain ingredients to perfumes you think they fit; As a form of personalizing perfumes. No disrespect to the perfumers of course. I know you’re a busy man, it’s just a suggestion :p Much love from Dubai!
