Langston

Well, well. The best in profile for my taste. Yes, this will instantly remind you of Angel's Share and Oajan, but where those to have a roughness to them and live firmly in boozy or honeyed resin worlds, Langston feels like balance. The decision to pull apple out of the imagination and into the scent here, the use of thick and buttery caramel here instead of praline or honey, a dab of chocolate and a twist of orange, smooth and buttery orris... masterful. This is the one for me. And I'm thrilled that THIS is the brand that did it. Unlike other scents in this profile, this shape shifts as it dries down and morphs into a beautiful, soft, warm hug that carries a hint of cinnamon without the spice. This is the best performer of the bunch so far and gives a lovely addictive experience for both the wearer and those around them.

Langston is the fragrance that Kilian attempted (and failed at, to my nose) with Angels' Share Paradis. Langston is bright, sweet without being syrupy, spicy without being limited to just fall and winter, and to my delight, has no raspberry note. No note is done with a heavy hand. It's a perfect blend of green apple, spices, light brown booze, and grounding woods and musk. Even though I'm using Angels' Share as a comparison, Langston stands on its own! I believe it's one of Harlem Perfume's Co's best fragrances. When I finish AS, I'll likely switch to Langston so I can enjoy this year-round.

the typical boozy spiced apple scent profile that’s been a thousand times over but I find the caramel apple note here is what makes this stand out. Very distinctly carmelized apples topped with warm cinnamon and paired with fresh, citrusy brandy. The dry down is much muskier, subtle, and subdued, with a prominent tonka bean and vanilla that offers a sweet and creamy combo, with remnants of those warm spices from before. This is a more everyday appropriate scent in this type of scent profile.

Great date night perfume. Smells like a cinnamon roll to me, on the dry down you do get hints of the other scents but I feel like the cinnamon is very prominent which isn't the worst thing. Doesn't last the longest but it's long enough for a night out and will smell delicious if someone's within a close proximity of you.

Kiliannnnn do you know you have 30 minutes???? This perfume decimates KAS for me. It’s not as screechy and borderline synthetic, this fragrance feels so well blended. Love this house so much ❤️
