Kilian makes some of the most addictive gourmands in niche perfumery — boozy, sweet, and built to be noticed. They also cost upwards of $300 a bottle. Here are our three Kilian-inspired fragrances, sold under our own name and hand poured in Sydney, from $45. (Or browse all our niche perfume dupes.)
The best Kilian dupes in Australia
1. Love, Don't Be Shy — Lie 50 ($45)
Kilian's sweetest scent: neroli and orange blossom up top, then a soft cloud of marshmallow, honey and vanilla over warm musk. Playful, cosy and very easy to like.
Shop our Kilian Love Don't Be Shy dupe (Lie 50).
Who it's for: Anyone who loves a sweet, comforting signature.
2. Angels' Share — Lie 69 ($60)
Named for the cognac that evaporates from the barrel as it ages. Cognac, cinnamon and tonka open warm and boozy, then oak, praline and vanilla settle into a long, creamy dry-down. A cool-weather and evening favourite.
Shop our Kilian Angels' Share dupe (Lie 69).
Who it's for: Gourmand lovers who want warmth and depth, not just sugar.
3. Angels' Share On The Rocks — Lie 116 ($65)
The same cognac-and-caramel heart with a chilled twist: bergamot, mandarin and crisp aldehydes up front, then cognac, cinnamon and caramel over tonka, oak and sandalwood. Lighter and fresher than the original — the one to wear when it's warm.
Shop our Angels' Share On The Rocks dupe (Lie 116).
Who it's for: Angels' Share fans who want something for summer.
Which one?
Sweet and cosy: Love, Don't Be Shy (Lie 50) — the easiest first pick. Warm and boozy: Angels' Share (Lie 69) for evenings and cooler nights. Boozy but fresh: On The Rocks (Lie 116) for warmer weather.

How close are they?
We're upfront: inspired by, not identical to. Designer formulas are trade secrets and sourcing always creates small differences. We build each one around what defines the original — the marshmallow-vanilla sweetness of Love, Don't Be Shy, the cognac and spice of Angels' Share, the cool citrus lift of On The Rocks. Our fragrances are Eau de Parfum strength; longevity varies by scent and skin.

Can I layer them?
