Angelic Elixir

Just received today. I don’t own the original, never smelled the original, so can’t speak of Angel’s Share. I’ll admit, I fell into the YouTube hype and NEEDED this fragrance. This is beautiful! I do get the apple bourbon that some don’t seem to get on their skin. Definitely get the cinnamon, which I love! It’s not the typical gourmand, full of vanilla. Nor is it super sweet like most of this genre. This will be my Thanksgiving scent. It’s a performer, but not the smack everybody in the face type. People are going to smell you, but not be down by your scent. Warm, inviting, delectable. So happy I purchased this one. Way to go Dua!

Two sprays on you will last you from morning to night. Two sprays on your clothes will last you for days. This stuff is super potent, but pleasant at the same time. I love it! I'd say that the opening is different to Angels' Share but as it gets to the drydown all the way until the end of its life, it is much closer to Angels' Share. Basically, this is a woodier and warmer version of Angels' Share. The 30 mL bottle is quite worth the money, especially that it is cheaper than Angels' Share and it is also more potent (you don't need to spray much, two or three sprays and you're done).

Dua gets most of these right. This is a total match. I have the original and sprayed it on one side, Angelic Elixir on the other . Even though I am pretty picky about things claiming to be duplicates, this one truly is. I prefer an extrait, always, as I like beast mode scents. This one is strong but dimensional just like the original. I don't miss the hedione or candied almond. The accords are identical. For the price, this is a gem.

I am obsessed with this! I like it even more than the real thing, probably bc it doesn't lean so boozy. This also layers amazingly with Guerlain Angelique Noire and Tobacco Honey. An insane layering combo is Commodity Milk Bold, Angelic Elixir, with a touch of Montale Arabians Tonka-heaven!!! I am going through this tiny 34ml bottle way too fast!!!

I don't understand why people conpare this to burning hair. Maybe the new batch its bad? I have a bottle of mine and its awesome. One of my favorite scents, because i love cinnamon and this smell a lot like a cinnamon stick, not even closer to burning hair..
