The Heritage collection

Launching the olfactive family The Heritage, Kilian Hennessy, founder, pays tribute to his heritage, as heir to the renowned French cognac making family, and to his choice olfactory intoxicants for driving the night towards dawn.

Angels’ Share is perhaps Kilian Hennessy’s most personal fragrance creation yet, inspired by his eighth-generation inheritance of Hennessy savoir-faire in cognac-making. First-time collaboration with French perfumer Benoist Lapouza, this creation goes deep into the cellars of founder’s mind and memory, and into its most mysterious dimension: “la part des anges” or “angels’ share”— an evaporation of heritage in oak barrels that lifts, while aging, like a silent offering to the gods.

Roses on Ice is the result of a first-time collaboration with perfumer Franck Voelkl. Kilian Hennessy wanted to recreate the tasting of “gin on the rocks” with a splash of lime—recalling his wife’s favorite drink.
