Cordial

This is absolutely gorgeous. Right from the initial spicy whiff, this is intoxicating. It’s beautifully balanced with sweet and boozy, but not drunken! The notes just draw you in deeper. The dry down for me is where the magic happens. I get lots of the candied orange, a bit of the apple and that creamy smooth vanilla absolute coupled those sexy woody base notes.. all while still maintaining the cinnamon from the opening. This is what I’ve been looking for, as I wore Sava by Gissah as a signature and it’s now discontinued. There is some of that same mood here. Grown up, sophisticated gourmand, but unique. This is not another AS clone. Not even close. This is so special. Even though not listed there is almost the faintest hint of cherry, not sour in any way just a dusting on the surface of that cognac. It’s marvelous. I’m super impressed. I’m in a chokehold over this! Obsessive, signature worthy!! House MDA was absolutely amazing to deal with when I had an issue with my order too. Top notch service. Thoughtful packaging. Highly recommend.

It's ok but all I'm getting is the candied orange and myrrh. Not really my kind of scent profile.

To die for boozy sweet perfection! Cordial is warm, boozy-sweet perfection—like settling into a dimly lit bar on a cold night, sipping an apple cordial spiked with cinnamon, citrus, and just the right amount of mischief. This is what a grown-up gourmand should be. The top notes hit with a golden richness: Ceylon cinnamon, juicy apple, candied orange peel, and smooth cognac swirl together in perfect harmony—sweet, spiced, and mouthwatering. Then the base comes in to wrap it all in luxe warmth: creamy vanilla absolute, velvety cashmere musk, whisky-soaked oak barrels, and the soft depth of royal Hawaiian sandalwood. The myrrh adds just the right whisper of resinous mystery, giving Cordial a sultry edge that makes it undeniably sexy. It’s comforting, intoxicating, and impossibly smooth. Every note is perfectly placed, and the balance is flawless. This is a total love. 10/10.

This definitely reminds me of Angels Share with the boozy cinnamon apple smell but amplified on the candied apples. The addition of candied orange peels makes this a little fruitier and sweeter as well. Then it dries down with some cozy musk, vanilla, and myrrh.
