If I ever met Beyoncé, I’m pretty sure I would faint with excitement. Once I woke up, I would want to know one thing: exactly what she smells like. Unfortunately, the odds are that I won’t be meeting Beyoncé anytime soon—but I did just find out her scent of choice, so I’ll get over it.
While in London for the her Renaissance tour, Beyoncé was spotted at British luxury retailer Harrods. At the Kilian Paris boutique in the store, she stocked up on her favorite perfume—Kilian Paris Angels’ Share.
It makes sense that Beyoncé would gravitate toward a scent like Kilian Paris Angels’ Share. The warm and spicy scent pays homage to Kilian Hennessy’s heritage—he does hail from the famed cognac-making family, after all (yes, that Hennessy). Angels’ share, or “a part des anges,” is a term in cognac-making for when the liquor in oak barrels evaporates while aging, like it’s being siphoned off to angels.
Angels’ Share is infused with the essence of Cognac, which gives it a natural caramel color. The nose of this perfume is heady cognac oil, and it opens up to reveal warm notes like oak, cinnamon, Tonka bean, sandalwood, praline, and vanilla. Leave it to Beyoncé to choose a perfume that smells good enough to eat.
Opening with cognac oil, upon a blend of oak absolute, cinnamon essence and Tonka bean absolute, the scent’s long-lasting notes of sandalwood, praline and vanilla make for a delicious finish, a rare concoction only angels should experience.
