Angels' Share x French Montana
by By Kilian
Angels' Share x French Montana by By Kilian presents a warm, sweet, and spiced aroma with dominant notes of cinnamon, hazelnut, praline, and vanilla, layered over a woody base of oak and sandalwood. The fragrance is unmistakably sweet and confectionary in its opening—reminiscent of a spiced apple pie or roasted nut cart—evoking the sensibility of a premium holiday candle. While many confirm it uses the identical juice as the original Angels’ Share, there’s a subtle shift toward a nuttier, creamier profile in this version, with more pronounced praline and hazelnut from the middle notes. The scent develops into a more balanced, warm-spiced drydown, displaying moderate to strong sillage and lasting into the evening. Though the bottle design is more elegant and collector-oriented, the scent itself remains largely consistent with the original, offering little beyond aesthetic differentiation. It is particularly well-suited for cold weather, especially winter and autumn, with a smooth, wearable quality that appeals to those drawn to rich, fruity-spicy fragrances with a candy-apple gourmand touch.
