Obsidian

A weird one but unique, not linear at all it's like 2 different perfumes into a bipolar one. It's nothing like Angel's Share on me btw. It starts off fresh, sour, fizzy so aldehydic and terpenic, fizzy that it's nose piercing, very unique opening and it lasts awhile. Not actually spicy but it has the bergamot's sharp sour green quality and the grapefruit's fizzy dirty element that's similar to the fizzy sharpness of black currant, so that's the kind of fresh "spice" it offers. Grapefruit is usually minty in the perfumes I own, but not much in this one. After 40 mins or so it gradually turns vanillic slightly warm ambery and nutty from the myrrh labdanum and tonka but it retains the green fruity element which is no longer as fizzy. Once the vanilla and amber establish themselves more it becomes balsamic too and morphs into a very familiar to me scent like the tropical vanilla fruity scent of BBW Tahiti Island Dream and Eau de Lacoste L.12.12 Pour Elle Magnetic which both have a nutty vanilla heavy green tropical essence, but Obsidian still holds some of that green fresh "spicy" kick to it. 3 amazing scents that can be paired or layered.

Only just received this and sprayed it on skin immediately and gone out for an hour. So first impressions are I reeeeeeaalllly like it. Definitely summer and just a lovely fragrance all round. No point in talking about notes as I'd say they are pretty well described on here. What I would say is the resemblance to AS on the rocks is passing at best. I don't own OTR but I've sprayed it on skin a few times so I know how much I love it and will eventually get it. So when you see tiktok and YouTube influencers say it's 80-90% the OG, as per normal it's greatly exaggerated. Maybe 40-60% there at best being generous... However, I would highly highly recommend it. It's sooo nice, and the quality is really gooood too. For the price it's epic and i'd rebuy.

absolutely loved angels share otr, too much money. this definitely scratches the itch. when i first got it, definitely was a 1:1 maybe a little synthetic in the opening but overall really really damn close even side to side with my sample of the og. now that i’ve had it for a few months i feel like i could smell a little more cinnamon peaking through even in that fresh opening which i kind of don’t like as much as it used to smell. also wished that fresh opening lasted a little longer but it’s hard for fresh things to last because they dissipate easily. overall worth it to buy and would recommend especially at the price point.

Just lovely lovely lovely. The best way to describe it would probably be this - imagine Royal Blend Sequoia, but lighter and with sugary-sweet grapefruit instead of raspberry. So in a way it does land well into the Angel's Share flanker line. Similarly sweet, but this time citrus dominant, soapy and altogether a rather fresh scent! I'd say you can easily wear this all year round. And very unisex too. I can't say it's masculine leaning at all. My wife really liked this. I don't know what's not to like about it. Stunning presentation too, as always with French Avenue. Maybe if you don't like sweet scents then that's a miss.

A safe blind buy if you love the Angels' Share DNA, although for me personally the sharp citrus notes only hit for like 1 - 2 minutes before disappearing. So far it is quite close to the Angels' Share DNA with that boozy smell.
