Cocktail Intense

Guys, this is an absolute masterpiece. Just got it today, it is boozy sweet, very nice balance. The actual notes in this fragrance are boozy vanilla, bit of fruity apple/plum (i smell more apple), and cinnamon. I dont care how % is it close to AS, but if you like the OG, you will like this for certain. Khamrah/Sharaf blend are not really similar to this, but they are stronger, this one is way closer to actual angels share. If you want a beast mode sweet fragrance for cheap, get Khamrah/Sharaf. If you want a beast mode angels share, i think you must buy the OG. This one has decent performance, straight out of the box it projects nicely for around 2-3 hours, with nice silage, lasts around 5-6 hours, which i think will get stronger over time, prob about 6-7 longevity. For the price, this one is absolute no brainer. If you LOVE angels share, get the OG. If you LIKE angels share, get this and save a ton of cash. If you want a beast mode sweet monstrosity, get Khamrah/Sharaf (they are almost identical). Skip Fire Your desire and Kismet. If you can find royal blend, for similar price, you can get it it is a bit stronger than Cocktail and has more cinnamon. Overall, if you can find this for a good price, and you like sweet fragrances, you just cannot go wrong. PERFECT date night fragrance, close encounter monster and probably if you overspray it will work for going out, but i prefer something like 9PM for that. Hope this helped. EDIT: Not as good longevity & sillage in winter, probably better for warmer period. Royal Blend is a better version of this if you can find it, get it. Still a good frag for price

A Boozy cinnamon plum with a woody spine, sprinkled with a smidge of iris, and lathered in a Tonka vanilla haze. All in all Cocktail Intense is quite a sensual fragrance for the senses ( judging from the kind of response it elicits from friends and strangers whenever I do use this scent). It is supposedly a dupe of Angels Share, (I had someone send me a 1.5 ml tester of the fragrance, and Angels Share was a super smooth rich blend). In all honesty it is like 85% similar, where AS has more of a deep boozy fruity (apple) aspect with a woodier drydown, Cocktail Intense is more a sweet cinnamon plum vanilla scent with the boozy notes dialled down by half. So whilst they are similar i'd go for Cocktail Intense, and not because it is way cheaper but because the scent got me more compliments as opposed to Angels Share. A 9/10 in my book. Longevity 7-8 hours, but it's a more close by scent after the second hour. Projection- Massive at first and gets closer until by the 4th hour it's a skin scent for it's duration. A great winter/autumn night time scent for any occasion except clubbing, rather go with something else for clubs.

Boozy, cinnamon, vanilla, sweet and slightly powdery. More suited for winter/fall weather, but still can be nice in a temperature-controlled environment if applied with respect. I don't see apple listed in the note breakdown, nor do I smell apple. I believe cinnamon is closely associated with apple when paired with a sweet vanilla; just like almond can sometimes make us believe we smell cherry when no cherry note is present. Performance on skin and projection have greatly improved over the 2 years since I bought my bottle; and it more closely resembles Angel's Share with the addition of iris, which softened it just enough to make it wearable for me. I liked the DNA, but I gave my Angel's Share to my son because it was a bit masculine to my nose, and smells better on him. The sillage of Cocktail Intense is very pleasant and garners compliments from both men and women. It's very well blended and smells surprisingly high quality for the price I paid which was less than $25USD. I prefer this to Khamrah; which, depending on where I am in my cycle, I can also find a bit heavy and masculine-leaning.

This is one of my favorite scents. I’m already on my second bottle which is amazing since I’ve got close to 100 perfumes in my collection and rarely actually finish a bottle. The only other perfumes I’ve ever completed and repurchased have been original Fancy, original Betsey Johnson, J’adore, and THIS. All vastly different perfumes from each other but my point being it is one that I keep reaching for. It’s cozy, it’s sexy, it’s refined, and you won’t smell like very BR540 wearing chick on the block (don’t get me wrong, I like 540 too, but it’s done to death). This is one where folks lean in a little closer to get a confirmation that it’s you that smells so good. Longevity is decent but I don’t mind having to respray since it’s so inexpensive. But the bottle is not exactly portable it weighs a ton and is beautiful but SOLID. Better to decant and take a little to-go atomizer for touch-ups. This scent is fall in a bottle.

#1275 in my "Tour de Fragrance" If you were looking for a dupe of Kilian's "Angel's Share" or Lattafa's similar "Khamrah" this is actually slightly different. Not quite as gourmand, as sweet, and I think with the myrrh and iris this is the better fragrance of the three as well as the least expensive. It's a moderate performer, a little brighter in character thanks to deleting the amber note (hence the "thinness" cell mentioned) and so less likely to come across as cloying in tight spaces, but I think most folks these days prefer having the amber. In the amber category MFK "Grand Soir" is top dog, but value-wise Mancera rules with "Instant Crush", "Amberful" and "Amber Fever." This is casual wear, date night wear, not business wear. Definitely unisex. A good year rounder. French Avenue Royal Blend is the same stuff as this minus cashmeran. This was a successful blind buy for me.
