Angels' Share
Kilian (2020)

I love Ambre Narguile, and I had high hopes for this but to me it just doesn't feel harmonious and blended well enough. It has a shrieking nofe that I also dislike. Haven't tried it on my slin because I found it so off putting.

I love Ambre Narguile & I love Oajan. It's that sweet tobacco, apple/cinnamon pie, pastry vibe. Really warm and comforting. Not an everyday wear, but I love it when I do. AN has the higher quality ingredients but always seems a bit light on me. Oajan has the power but may be a little too in your face. The reason I like Angels Share so much is because it sits perfectly between the two. The quality is there and it lasts, but doesn't shout. I find AS more boozy than the other 2 but all 3 are basically different branches of the same tree. I wouldn't say any one was better than the other, they just do different things. Not a fan of Kilian fragrances on the whole, but this one really hits a sweet spot on my skin.

I dont hate it but i dont love it either. It reminds me too much of back to black, heavy on the pipe tobacco and almond. No one mentions almond but i get that and thats what turns me off. Its like cinnamon, almond and tobacco. I do not get any apple notes. Cloying.

"Boozy warm apple pie", as STORMIE described, is Angels' Share in a nutshell. I can't imagine wearing this on a daily basis, but it smells great sprayed into a room -- the scent lingers for hours -- or maybe on a handkerchief for an accent.

It's a good fragrance, but I find it a bit too simple. You get the cinnamon and liquor note that reminds you of Ambre Narguile. The drydown is a pleasant tonka and vanilla scent with some praline to give it a touch of gourmand feel. I might be going a bit too hard on this scent, but it's 2023, and there are so many other sweet tonka and vanilla scents that I can try. There are also clones of Ambre Narguile that come so close to the original, and then there's Kismet Angel.

This scent will smell amazing if you just joined the hobby, but this type of smell has lost its appeal. I'm giving it a neutral rating because it doesn't excite me.

This is a slightly sweeter version of Tom Ford Noir Extreme with a slight pinch of Frapin 1270 (because of the cognac note). You get the slight booziness with the ambery vanilla and cinnamon in this gem. Nothing new, but something nice. 8/10
