If there’s one celebrity whose beauty routine we’re endlessly curious about, it’s Beyoncé. From her glowing skin to her signature stage presence, everything about Queen Bey feels carefully curated, and that includes her fragrance.
Over the years, a handful of luxury scents have been linked to the global superstar, including cult perfumes from Kilian. The label has built a devoted following among celebrities, with fans including Rihanna, Zendaya and Kim Kardashian.
Now, Australian fans can get in on the hype too. The luxury French perfume house has officially landed at Adore Beauty, meaning shoppers can finally buy the brand’s cult scents online.
Naturally, this got me thinking. What does Beyoncé actually smell like? To find out, I tested one of her favourite Kilian perfumes for a full week.
The exact perfume Beyoncé wears
Kilian Paris Angels’ Share
$385 at Adore Beauty
If you like your fragrances warm, rich, and a little bit indulgent, Kilian Angels’ Share is worth knowing about. Inspired by the cognac ageing process, the scent is boozy, sweet and wrapped in amber warmth, making it the kind of perfume that feels luxurious on the skin.

Testing Kilian Angels’ Share: the verdict
I wore Kilian Angels’ Share Eau de Parfum for a week to see what all the hype was about. My first impression? It’s very rich.
Spritz sparingly so you don’t overpower anyone around you. The good news is that a little really goes a long way. Right from the first spritz, the cognac note hits, warm and boozy. As it settles, the oak and cinnamon add a subtle spiciness, giving it depth without ever feeling heavy.
By the time the base notes kick in, the creamy tonka bean and smooth sandalwood follow, leaving a delicious scent all around.
What Beyoncé has said about Kilian Angels’ Share
Beyoncé doesn’t usually go around naming her favourite perfumes, but she’s been widely linked to Kilian Angels’ Share.
A few years ago, she was spotted at the Kilian counter in Harrods picking up Angels’ Share, and some even say she was wearing it on the day she shopped.
