Angels' Share on the Rocks Kilian 2025

When I heard about a summer flanker of my favorite scent, I had been on the lookout for that one summer fragrance for so long, and it was hyped like never before for an upcoming release.
After the first spray right after the arrival of my sample, this hype initially transformed into boundless joy, because I have rarely had such a beautiful scent under my nose.
The DNA of the OG comes through directly, albeit somehow diluted or perhaps a bit cooler, which might just be in my head due to the ice accord... In any case, it is exactly what I had hoped for with Sweet Heaven Ice and was immensely disappointed.
Then the most elegant citrus hits in, which I have ever smelled. It is so well balanced with the sweetness, not a trace of bathroom cleaner or what you often find, and it beautifully envelops this wonderful DNA.
Unfortunately, the dream is over after 2-3 hours, the scent becomes close to the skin and completely disappears after another 1-2 hours. On clothing, it lasts a bit longer as always, but only if you hold it to your nose.

Conclusion: One of the best scents I have ever had the pleasure of smelling, but the performance for the price segment is, in my opinion, inappropriate. Especially in 2025, where as a manufacturer you have to expect that some Arab fragrance house will release your creation in the next 6 months quite well for a tenth of your price, you simply have to shine with performance to justify your price.

My only hope is that perhaps the scent was released a bit hastily and in the next 6-12 months the dreaded M-word will show its effect ;-)
