Index: /llms.txt # By Kilian Angels' Share sample: 3ml test, 5 originals An Angels' Share sample in 3ml lets you wear Kilian's cognac, cinnamon and praline perfume before a bottle. See how it differs from On The Rocks and Paradis, then follow a wear test. By [Michael Edwards](https://10ml.com/authors/michael-edwards) · 13 November 2026 · 8 min read A [By Kilian Angels' Share sample](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share) from 10ML is a 3ml decant of the original for €19.35 (about 60 sprays), the easy way to test the 2020 Eau de Parfum on your own skin before buying a bottle. A 10ml decant is €51.39 (about 200 sprays). Below, you will find how it moves from cognac to praline, a three-version table that sets it beside Angels' Share On The Rocks and Angels' Share Paradis, a wear test for 3ml decants, and five other originals to sample next. ## What Angels' Share smells like The catalogue credits Benoit Lapouza with Angels' Share, listed as unisex and as an Eau de Parfum. Its opening has one note: cognac. That makes the first impression a spirit, rather than a fruit or a flower. The heart holds [cinnamon](https://10ml.com/notes/cinnamon), tonka bean, oak and hedione. Cinnamon brings warmth to the cognac, while tonka bean and oak move it towards something sweeter and woodier. The base lists vanilla, praline, sandalwood and candied almond. Read from top to bottom, the perfume goes from a boozy opening through a spiced, woody heart to a sweet, nutty finish. Its accords are warm spicy, woody, sweet, vanilla, cinnamon, amber and powdery. On longevity, the community leans towards "long lasting"; on sillage, towards "moderate", with "strong" second. Winter and autumn are the seasons voters choose most often, and they pair it with night and evening. The catalogue lists work as an occasion. These are votes, not a performance promise, so a sample is the sensible way to find out how it behaves on you. ## Angels' Share, its two versions and three other originals to sample The three Angels' Share perfumes come first, followed by three other houses' originals that share a sweet, spiced, boozy or tobacco thread. | # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [By Kilian Angels' Share](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share) | A single-note opening over cinnamon, tonka bean and oak, with vanilla, praline and sandalwood. | €19.35 (€6.45/ml) | €51.39 (€5.14/ml) | | 2 | [By Kilian Angels' Share On The Rocks](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share-on-the-rocks) | Grapefruit, bergamot, aldehydes and ice over cinnamon and caramel, with tonka bean, oak, sandalwood and myrrh. | €19.53 (€6.51/ml) | €49.32 (€4.93/ml) | | 3 | [By Kilian Angels' Share Paradis](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share-paradis) | Raspberry and liquor over tonka bean, Bulgarian rose and oakmoss, with oak, sandalwood and praline. | €21.78 (€7.26/ml) | €63.45 (€6.35/ml) | | 4 | [Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille](https://10ml.com/perfumes/tom-ford-tobacco-vanille) | Tobacco leaf and spicy notes over vanilla, cacao, tobacco blossom and tonka bean, with dried fruits and woody notes. | €18.18 (€6.06/ml) | €50.40 (€5.04/ml) | | 5 | [Lattafa Khamrah](https://10ml.com/perfumes/lattafa-khamrah) | Cinnamon, nutmeg and bergamot over dates, praline and tuberose, with vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood and myrrh. | €6.90 (€2.30/ml) | €15.90 (€1.59/ml) | ## Angels' Share, On The Rocks and Paradis side by side 10ML stocks three perfumes with this name, all credited to Benoit Lapouza. They share a spirit-led idea, but their note lists take different directions, so a 3ml decant of each is a low-risk way to find the one that suits you. **Angels' Share, On The Rocks and Paradis compared** | Perfume | Year and strength | Notes, top to base | Season and hour, from votes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Angels' Share | Eau de Parfum, 2020 | Cognac; cinnamon, tonka bean and oak; vanilla, praline and sandalwood | Winter and autumn; night and evening | | Angels' Share On The Rocks | Eau de Parfum, 2025 | Grapefruit, bergamot, aldehydes, Italian lemon, bitter orange, mandarin and ice; cinnamon, caramel and cognac; tonka bean, oak, sandalwood, cashmere wood and myrrh | Autumn and winter; night, evening and day | | Angels' Share Paradis | 2025 | Cognac, raspberry and liquor; tonka bean, Bulgarian rose and oakmoss; oak, sandalwood and praline | Winter and autumn; evening and night | [On The Rocks](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share-on-the-rocks) is the brighter of the three on paper. Its opening is mostly citrus, with aldehydes and ice listed alongside, and cognac does not arrive until the heart, next to cinnamon and caramel. Its accords lead with citrus and woody, then warm spicy and fresh. On longevity "long lasting" is the community's usual answer, then "moderate"; on sillage it is "strong", then "moderate". It is the only one of the three whose time-of-day votes include day wear. [Paradis](https://10ml.com/perfumes/by-kilian-angels-share-paradis) keeps the spirit on top but adds raspberry and liquor, then sets Bulgarian rose and oakmoss in the heart. Praline returns in the base, as in the original. Its accords lead with sweet, woody and fruity, then warm spicy, amber and vanilla. Voters mostly call its longevity "long lasting" and its sillage "strong". The catalogue lists going out as its occasion, which agrees with the evening and night votes. So the choice is simpler than the names suggest. Choose the original for the spirit, cinnamon and a praline base. Choose On The Rocks if citrus and ice at the start appeal to you. Choose Paradis if raspberry and rose sound like the detail you want in a boozy perfume.

A 3ml decant holds around 60 sprays, enough to run a proper test over several days instead of judging a perfume on its first minutes. 1. **Day one: the original on clean skin.** Spray it once on one wrist in the morning and do not rub it in. Write down what you notice in the first quarter of an hour, then again after an hour. The opening changes as the heart arrives, which is why paper strips mislead. 2. **Day two: check the heart.** Wear it again at the same time and note when the cinnamon, tonka bean and oak take over from the opening. Note whether the sweetness feels comfortable or heavy to you. 3. **Day three: wear it in the evening.** Community votes point to winter and autumn evenings, so try it when the weather is cool. Pay attention to the praline, vanilla and sandalwood that remain at the end of the night. 4. **Day four: your chosen comparison.** Wear On The Rocks or Paradis instead, on the same wrist and with the same number of sprays. Do not layer them: a separate day stops one perfume from colouring your read of the other. 5. **Day five: decide.** Compare your notes and ask which one you reached for again. That perfume, not the one with the most appealing opening, is the one to buy in a larger size. Keep the number of sprays and the place on your skin the same each day. Your own notes about what you noticed matter more than any general claim about how a perfume lasts. ## What a 3ml and a 10ml decant give you Choose a 3ml decant while you are still deciding. Around 60 sprays let you run the test above, wear the leading perfume again and rule out anything that does not suit you. At €19.35, it is the sensible size for answering whether this perfume belongs in your rotation. That works out at €6.45/ml for the 3ml. Step up to a 10ml decant when you know you like it. With around 200 sprays you can wear it for weeks and see whether the boozy sweetness still pleases you after the novelty fades. The 10ml decant costs €51.39, or €5.14/ml. A decant is the original perfume poured from its own bottle into a small atomiser, with nothing added, and 10ML does the filling itself, from stock bought from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands. The [perfume samples](https://10ml.com/perfume-samples) page lists the small sizes, and our explainer on [what a perfume decant is](https://10ml.com/guides/what-is-a-perfume-decant) covers the format. ## Five other originals to sample next ### Angels' Share On The Rocks and Paradis If the test leaves you wanting more of the same idea, the other two versions are the obvious next decants. On The Rocks is €19.53 in 3ml and Paradis is €21.78. Their note lists are in the table above, so sample whichever one matches the opening you preferred. ### Side Effect by Initio Parfums Prives Side Effect is a 2016 Eau de Parfum that opens with rum, which gives it a boozy start of its own. Tobacco and cinnamon sit in the heart, and sandalwood is the only base note listed. Its accords are warm spicy, tobacco, rum, cinnamon, woody and sweet. Voters lean towards "long lasting" for longevity, with "eternal" second, and towards "strong" for sillage. Its seasons are winter and autumn, and its times of day are evening and night. ### Tobacco Vanille by Tom Ford [Tobacco Vanille](https://10ml.com/perfumes/tom-ford-tobacco-vanille) dates from 2007 and is credited to Olivier Gillotin. It starts with tobacco leaf and spicy notes, puts vanilla, cacao, tobacco blossom and tonka bean in the middle, and ends on dried fruits and woody notes. Tonka bean is the note it shares with the heart of the Kilian. The accords start with vanilla, sweet and tobacco, then warm spicy, fruity, woody, cacao and powdery. Winter, autumn, night and evening lead its votes. A 3ml decant is €18.18. ### Khamrah by Lattafa [Khamrah](https://10ml.com/perfumes/lattafa-khamrah) is a 2022 Eau de Parfum from Lattafa. Cinnamon, nutmeg and bergamot lead; the middle is dates, praline, tuberose and mahonial; the base gathers vanilla, tonka bean, amberwood, myrrh, benzoin and akigalawood. Praline, cinnamon, vanilla and tonka bean are the notes it shares with the Kilian. Its accords are sweet, warm spicy, vanilla, amber, cinnamon, woody, fresh spicy and fruity. Winter, autumn and night are what voters choose for it. A 3ml decant is €6.90, the lowest 3ml price in this guide. ## Which Angels' Share sample to choose first - **Start with the original** if cinnamon, praline and a spirit-led opening are the combination you want to wear. Its votes point towards winter and autumn evenings. - **Choose On The Rocks** if you want citrus and ice at the start, or a boozy perfume with day wear in its votes. - **Choose Paradis** if raspberry, rose and oakmoss sound more interesting to you than cinnamon and almond. - **Add Side Effect or Tobacco Vanille** if the spirit and sweetness are what you like and you want to see how tobacco changes the picture. You do not need to settle the whole house in one order. Pair the original with the version or perfume whose notes interest you most in 3ml, wear each for a full day, then keep a 10ml decant of whichever you pick up again unprompted.
