Fragrance World
Cocktail Intense EDP
“The closest cheap pour to the real thing — cognac and cinnamon, dialed down to stay honest.”
The take
What works
- ●The most faithful Angels' Share opening on a budget — cognac and cinnamon land almost dead-on
- ●Reserved rather than loud, which is exactly what keeps it close to the original
- ●Vanilla-tonka drydown reads clean and expensive for the price
Trade-offs
- ●Projects softer than the pricier clones — a touch more spray needed
- ●Strictly cold-weather evening territory
