Angels' Share on the rocks

Ok I actually enjoy this one. At first spray I wasn't that impressed, it opened floral citrus that just smelled like it belonged in a Sephora. Also the smell of apple juice has always given me a headache. To me the OG AS smells like a brewed apple in alcohol and heavy spices, AS OTR smells like apple juice or apple cider mixed with some spices. Now that I've worn it about 3 times I can say I actually really really enjoy this fragrance. As for performance, first 20 minutes are nuclear, I think it's because the atomizer is high performing, it sprays like a mf, and the fragrance will definitely overpower you for a second and make you think you smell to strong. After about 30 minutes you get this nice cloud and scent trail that is DEFINITELY noticeable, that lasts for about maybe 2-3 ish hours. Then mellows into an arm's length bubble that's still noticable. It get's weaker till it hits that 5-6 hour range where you have to bring your arm up to your nose to really smell it. DISCLAIMER I only spray twice because I'm scared of smelling strong, so the performance im sure will be better with 3 or more sprays.

Yeah, it's amazing, for me, it's almost one of those all-year-round fragrances, but I can't really see myself wearing it in spring, just can't imagine the environment where this would thrive or be applicable at all. It already slightly pushes it with summer, with all the citruses and "ice" notes being what holds it for me. Definitely is feminine leaning of the unisex side, but not at all to the point where it can't be worn by men/ it would suit them, come the occasion, and because it's the lighter version with the citruses and aldehydes, it pulls it back to a comfortable place where it can be considered a more diverse scent, suiting a broader range of instances. As with more or less everything with Kilian, it is a date night/special occasion type of fragrance, which can be used semi-casually, but I can imagine it truly thriving in a romantic, calmer, cooler environment. Really does embody an expensive, autumnal, Parisian bar if that's the vibe you're looking for.

This has to be one of my all time favorite perfumes. It takes that beautiful angel share dna and freshens it up and makes it an all year round experience. Truly a signature scent profile. A fresh icy citrus blast at the beginning with that lovely boozy apple pie dry down. I have a dupe of this and while it’s fairly close…nothing will compare to the OG. This and Louis Vuitton Imagination are two originals that you just bite the bullet and pay for. I genuinely think this is better than the original Angel Share and it’s a top 5 of all time. It has amazing projection and longevity for a fresh scent and just you will find yourself smelling your hand or arm very frequently once you apply it.

Kilian's Angels' Share on the Rocks by Perfumer Benoist Lapouza is a refreshing citrus boozey fragrance. Interestingly enough I have only explored, Angels' Share on the Rocks and Angels' Share Paradis, but not the OG Angels' Share. Night and day difference between the two. OTR is fresh yet boozey and sweet, this fragrance is beautifully blended. The drydown is warm and sultry with the pairing of myrrh and tonka bean. I'm going to end this is review with a comparison of BTSO Cola Addict. In my opinion, Cola Addict is the BTSO interpretation of OTR, there I said it.

I’m not a huge fan of the original Angels' Share—it’s just become way too popular among both men and women, and it didn’t really resonate with me personally, though it was a nice scent. This one, however, I absolutely love—from the opening to the dry-down, with those notes of cinnamon, cognac, and fruit. It’s definitely a masculine-leaning fragrance with a lot of seductive potential; I really like it. That said, it’s not the best in terms of longevity or projection—though it’s not bad either; I’d say it’s about average.
