What people who wear Kilian Angels Share report, based on votes and reviews from a large fragrance community. Created by Benoist Lapouza.
Listed as Unisex
“Boozy sweet warm cozy comforting and sexy. Compliment getter and great performance. Great for both sexes but leans masculine. After coming out in 2020 as of today there has to be at least 25 dupes maybe more. No I have not tried them all and have no plans to but DUA Angelic Elixir is good enough for me. Sure price per ml DUA is a bit more expensive than ME dupes but if you have a decent sized collection it will last years. If you are against dupes then let Kilian take your hard earned cash.”
“Smells exactly like apple pie. Not into the gourmand stuff, usually dislike cinnamon, this one is legit. Performance is good enough, however its pretty difficult to wear, at least for me as a man. I would probably only wear it to a winter date with someone I'm already comfortable with, or during the holiday season. In these instances this fragrance is perfect, perhaps a dupe is worth checking out given its limited use value.”
“This is like a big warm cozy, boozy, spicy, vanilla scarf in the fall and winter. It sort of hugs and clings to you. It lasts a long time. It has that projection, that sillage. If you spray this on at 8 in the morning you'll smell it at 4 in the afternoon. This isn't just a skin scent. There's so many enjoyable layers.”
