The Story

When you're Beyonce, your fragrance game has to match your legendary status. Insiders report that the Queen Bey reaches for Kilian's Angel's Share - a £235 cognac-forward masterpiece that smells like old money and new power.

The name references the portion of aging spirits that evaporates - the 'angel's share' that disappears into the heavens. It's a poetic concept for a fragrance: something precious, ephemeral, reserved for higher beings. Fitting for an artist who has reached such rarefied heights.

Angel's Share opens with warming cognac and cinnamon - immediately intoxicating, like walking into a private members' club where the whiskey flows freely. The heart reveals praline and tonka bean, sweet but never cloying. This is not a dessert perfume; it's a statement of sophisticated indulgence.

What makes this choice fascinating is Beyonce's dual role in the fragrance world. She doesn't just wear luxury scents - she creates them. Her album-inspired fragrances Ce Noir (for Renaissance) and Ce Lumiere (for Cowboy Carter) extended her artistic vision into olfactory territory. The woman who created 'Heat' in 2010 has evolved into a serious fragrance connoisseur.

For Beyonce, Angel's Share isn't just a perfume. It's the finishing touch on an aura of untouchable glamour - the scent equivalent of a Givenchy couture gown or a vintage Lorraine Schwartz diamond.

How We Know

While not directly confirmed by Beyonce, multiple industry insiders have reported this as a favorite. Her dual angle as both wearer and creator (Heat in 2010, Ce Noir, Ce Lumiere) demonstrates serious fragrance expertise.

So...? Sinful

So...?

A sweet, gourmand fragrance with a soft, creamy vanilla praline base that unfolds into delicate violet and musk notes. It opens with a subtle mint and pineapple hint, but the dominant character is a luxurious blend of sugary vanilla, powdered cocoa, and soft berries that feels both youthful and sensual. The scent is well-blended and not harsh—more like a tempting treat than a cloying syrup.
