FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Kismet Magic scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Angels' Share.

Maison Alhambra sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Angels' Share's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $25 it costs 91% less than Angels' Share.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

By Kilian Angels' Share is cognac at first, cinnamon, Tonka Bean and oak at its heart and praline, vanilla and sandalwood at the end. Maison Alhambra set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

For the one who savors a fireside glass of aged cognac, wrapped in cinnamon, praline and warm vanilla on cold nights.
