Oud Old Fashioned

#1478 in my "Tour de Fragrance" I get it. This has some notes in common with Kilian's "Angel Share" and everyone knows that scent. But it has some important notes not in common. Whiskey comes off nothing like cognac for one. The iris here is very strong for two. The plum adds a rich and deep fruitiness for three. The citrus of the orange for four. "Angel's Share on the Rocks" comes closer. But this is really more like Lattafa "Khamrah" or Moresque "Perpetual" with the fruitiness. I prefer this to Angel's Share, I'd place this in a tie with Khamrah, and I'd put Moresque Perpetual ahead of those. The nuttiness of the Perpetual, and the dark cherry works for me better than plum. But I love Guerlain "L'Homme Ideal" EDP for the dark cherry, and to me that scent excels this scent, the Kilian, the Lattafa, and I'd put it in a tie with the Moresque except for the high price of the Moresque. Obviously the bargain brand among these scents is the Lattafa Khamrah which is an awesome scent for the low price. This is long lasting, good sillage, everyone will like it, no one will offended, though it could get cloying in tight spaces. Unisex for sure. Casual and date wear for guys. Fair price.

This one stayed on a test strip for about four or five days, lingering of cinnamon and bourbon. It's nice. I went back to buy it and wore it today. I'll summarize briefly: - Mature and slightly sweet - Not super strong, but present - Boozy but light in scent, not heavy to wear at all - Unisex but male leaning My biggest complaint by FAR is that it didn't last on my skin. 4 hours after a heavy application I couldn't find it on my skin whatsoever, even with a deep sniff right on my wrists where I last applied it. If you want a boozy fragrance that's a little more subtle, but genuinely high quality and complex, I would strongly recommend Oud Noir Divine Rai Phalail. It lasts a very long time and is possibly a little more office friendly. I just listed my XO for sale, because between the two I prefer the Divine fragrance. I wouldn't buy it again because of the price ($189.) For about $30 more you can get 50 mL of something truly magnificent from Les Indemodables that lasts for ages. I wish I'd invested in that brand instead. BEWARE of traveling with this bottle. It's 120 mL and will be taken from you at TSA.

I just wanted to add an update after owning this for several months, this is an unbelievable niche quality frag, so happy with the purchase. The longevity is still insane, it smells even smoother than when I purchased it and it already was incredible. What you're getting it basically the Angels' Share DNA, minus the almond, hedione, and praline, replace those notes with a heavier sandwood and incense, and add a pinch of iris, a tiny grain of myrrh, and a hefty dose of freshly peeled orange rind and you get XO Old Fashioned. It's a much more masculine take on the DNA. This holds up a little bit better in the spring and cooler summer nights than similar frags. The quality is incredible for the price. This smells better than a lot of the niche frags I own and blows away not only every AS clone/ twist I've tried, but also the OG. 10/10 fragrance!

I have smelled quite a few dupes of Angels' Share, this one completely blows away every other one I have smelled. This honestly smelled better than the real deal to me, and much more masculine as well: it has a smokey incense quality to it. Performance is absolutely amazing on this: beast mode longevity and projection. The store I sampled it on is asking around $80 for a 4oz bottle, amazing for the price! I hope they release a 2 oz size like they did for some other the others in the line. Edit: I ended up purchasing a 4oz bottle for $90 and it's one of the best fragrance purchases I have ever made. A little goes a long way, very rich, opulent, and stunning juice. This is 10/10 fragrance for me. This makes Angel's Share completely redundant.

This is pretty much Killian Angel's Share but just a bit less expensive and lasts a long time. The performance on this is insane and lasts easily 12 hours. I've never heard of this brand before and decided to try it out and Im happy with the decision i made to get it. The presentation with this is really nice aswell. They give you a big case instead of the traditional box you'd get with other colognes. Highly recommend.
