Emir Fire Your Desire

Softly Delicate AMBER & APPLE-PIE with ICE-CREAM... This is a dupe of Angels' Share by Kilian with good approximation and moderate performance that improves after a few weeks of dark storage following first sprays. Apple-cinnamon pie scents are popular these days, but this one (as with Angels' Share) I appreciate for being unmistakable to my nose and with a range that covers a fluffy, gourmet apple-cinnamon pie through to late night drive-thru apple-cinnamon turnover. For me there's no head scratching: is it apple/pineapple cinnamon? ...or is it cherry/apple-cinnamon. 1st Wearing: For the first 5-10 minutes I can't smell much . Then the sillage opens up and I'm getting that boozy apple-cinnamon pie scent, with a nice arms' length or better scent bubble. The individual notes are recognizable now, but they're all supporting the illusion of an apple-cinnamon pie. 20-30 minutes into the drydown, the fluffiness takes on a faintly lactonic quality coming from the vanilla note, and you start to become aware that this gourmet apple-cinnamon pie has a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. So far the projection is soft but present, and better than I expected from the reviews. This lasts for about 3 hours, and then the scent bubble gradually contracts to a skin scent for a total of 5-6 hours (this is for two sprays to the wrist). 2nd Wearing (2 weeks later): In the first minute I'm immediately aware of an amber accord (not in the notes, but in the main accords) that I didn't notice in the 1st wearing. It's softly sweet and traditional leaning. When the sillage opens up I again get the gorgeous apple-cinnamon pie scent, but this time underpinned by the softly sweet traditional leaning amber that adds to the depth and beauty. The rest of the experience is the same except projection is now 3-6 feet, and it lasts 7-8 hours. Overall: Gorgeous amber & apple-pie with ice-cream scent. I'm happy with the performance and I personally wouldn't change it, but this is still a delicate scent profile. Although I would agree it's unisex, there's a soft, delicate, fluffy quality that some may find weak. But I find it heavenly. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy! Update 04/30/25: This has gotten a lot stronger, more similar to Angels' Share, and the different facets come out more. I sprayed twice, but I could've sprayed once tbh, still it isn't overpowering. It's gotten a lot more similar to Angels' Share By Kilian, whose note from the brand states the scent is about Hennessy cognac and the notes are cognac, tonka & oak. All the notes are here as well now, and the cognac (amber accord with hints of cinnamon etc.) and tonka seem to be stronger at first while the woodiness comes out more slowly to my nose. Tonka here leans to its fruitier side. It's classified as an Oriental Vanilla (Amber Vanilla) rather than a gourmand or woody scent, and I agree - to me it smells more like a sweet amber perfume than something to eat - but it does lean gourmand (and woody). Still a love.

Hennessy Cognac Inspired Scent with Apple-Pie & Ice-Cream Vibes... This is a pretty good dupe of Angels' Share by Kilian that approximates the OG nicely, with moderate performance that improves after a few weeks of dark storage following the first sprays. First Impression: It comes across more delicate than I was expecting at first, but then I'm getting that boozy apple-cinnamon pie scent, with a nice arms' length or better scent bubble. A half hour into the drydown, the fluffiness takes on a faintly lactonic quality coming from the vanilla note, and you start to become aware that this gourmet apple-cinnamon pie has a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Projection is soft but present, and better than I expected from the reviews. This lasts for about 3 hours, and then the scent bubble gradually contracts to a skin scent for a total of 5-6 hours (this is for two sprays to the wrist). After Aging a Few Weeks: In the first minute I'm immediately aware of an amber accord (not in the notes, but in the main accords) that I didn't notice in the 1st wearing, and it's gotten a lot stronger, more similar to Angels' Share, and the different facets come out more. I sprayed twice, but I could've sprayed once tbh, still it's not overpowering.IIt's softly sweet and traditional leaning. When the sillage opens up I again get the gorgeous apple-cinnamon pie scent, but this time underpinned by the softly sweet amber that adds to the depth and beauty. The rest of the experience is the same except projection is now 3-6 feet, and it lasts 7-8 hours. Overall: Gorgeous cognac-amber & apple-pie with ice-cream scent. It's inspired by Angels' Share By Kilian, whose note from the brand states the scent is about Hennessy cognac and the notes are cognac, tonka & oak. All the notes are here as well now, and the cognac (amber accord with hints of cinnamon etc.). Tonka here leans to its fruitier side. It's a love for me. 10/10. Enjoy! Contrast to Ambre d'Alexandrie Boucheron: These are different, but there are striking similarities with a boozy, fruity resinous amber. Fire Your Desire leans more boozy apple & cinnamon, while Ambre d'Alexandrie leans near-raisin & tobacco. Both have good performance after aging a few weeks. Contrast to Khaltat Night Attar Collection: These are different, but there are striking similarities again with fruity, resinous amber. Khaltat Night is leans more cherry-cinnamon, while Fire Your Desire is more boozy apple-cinnamon. Both have good performance after aging a few weeks. Contrast to Inner Angel Bath & Body Works: This is a another dupe of Angels' Share By Kilian with good approximation, although the performance is not as strong (as to be expected from a perfume mist). These would layer well with each other. Love them both for different reasons.

Ok so I can't compare this to Killians angel share. But i can say this us a slightly more well blended kismet angel. Don't get me wrong kismet angel is delicious in its own right, but I do think this is a blend of Oud and Vanille by Emir and Kismet Angel. It is spicy, boozy, sweet and caramelized, the woody notes remind me of BTFP. --- So after a couple months, this hasd evolved into a bourbon vanilla, and cinnamon infused honey bomb. This isnt floral by any measure, but the wood here is fresh, light and reminiscent of sweet mesquite, or any wood with a sweeter smoke. Now that I compare, Kismet Angel reads a tad harsh, almost like a stick of big red gum compared to this. BTFP is much drier, less sweet and ambrosia - like.

I dont know what all the people in the comments talk about?! This perfume is so good! I bought it for my husband and wow! This is so sexy, so intresting and a beautiful made scent 😍 I have tried lattafa khamrah and that perfume only smell like dates...I have tried essnce drunk apple pie, but my husband dont smell like that perfume.. Angel share is to sweet to.. This one though its so much better in my opinion, love this as a mans perfume! The first I smell is cinnamon, then cognac and then praline and oak. It is so manly and intriging. I love it! And I am really really picky about mens perfume. But this one I will by so many bottles for my husband ❤️ I will follow him around all day when he smells like this 😍

Had this for a couple months and tested it many many times. While the scent is absolutely gorgeous and extremely close to the OG (I perceive it a little sweeter, slightly more feminine than AS which I find perfectly unisex), it's also very weak. I always sprayed it abundantly and every time I could feel it for maybe around half an hour, then it became a skin scent for another 2, maybe 3 more hours, tops. It's dirt cheap though, so I definitely don't regret getting it, but won't be buying again. There are definitely better choices in terms of performance, when it comes to this DNA.
