Excellent quality for a Dupe

The Royal Blend is simply outstanding, from the presentation to the scent itself. I can only tell the difference between Royal Blend and Angels Share when I compare them side by side. Both are of excellent quality and very similar in my opinion.
The difference, in my opinion, is that Angels Share has more depth, i.e. I sense more spice and a slight almondy sweetness, certainly from the praline.

9 out of 10 perfume for me

I don’t really like the original Angel Shares, the cinnamon is to strong for my liking and to boozy

The royal blend is more about vanilla, enough cinnamon and less boozy, wearable gourmand scent and perfect for any occasion. I wore this on morning 08 a.m and still able to smell it on 06 p.m, longevity is 10+ hours, stop counting it after 6 p.m

Projection is 4 out of 5, it’s strong but not to strong and after 3 hours it will become moderate.

It’s wearable in tropical climate, didn't feel overwhelmed or nauseated while using it.

No Atomic Bomb

Honestly, folks, no. Angels Share -> Nope, I have to disappoint you.

In the first impression:
Boozy plum schnapps with a hint of cinnamon, later vanilla-musk, but not really vanilla and not really woody at all. Just a musky fluff that carries the aforementioned scent notes but has no unique characteristic. The myrrh note is a major player. The scent is warm, soft, spicy, and really well made, but miles away from Angels Share. No, the RB is like grandma's plum cake with a shot, as mentioned below. Cozy.

Angels Share, on the other hand: Kawuuuummm -> Apple pie with cinnamon, flambéed, then ice-cold wood that pairs with tonka bean (the synthetic note of the wood feels very cold to me, we’re talking about when the scent has been on the skin for several hours, not the projection), hits like an atomic bomb, the sillage is overwhelming and lasts just as long as the aftereffects of the described explosion. If Angels Share were a person, she would definitely be on coke. Although in a private room with leather chairs and heavy glasses, where the ice cubes clink, but always with an "all eyes on me" attitude.

The Royal Blend can be wonderfully made, it has that certain scent DNA and from a distance, the similarity to Angels Share becomes apparent, but we do not have a 1:1 copy. I also have the Cocktail Intense at home, which I actually see more as a dupe, but its longevity is just kind of meh.

Nevertheless, the reason why Angels Share was allowed to move out was its omnipresence; I would get along much better with the Royal Blend. The wearer wears Royal Blend. Angels Share carries you.

Maybe we just need to stop calling the orientals dupes and instead view them as independent fragrances that radiate a similar DNA, and then everyone is happy, because for the price asked, all the scents are worth more than their money and are always a little highlight in the sought-after fragrance direction, provided you generally like the somewhat overpowering musk note in the French Avenues, Lattafas, and whatever they are all called.

Best Alternative to the Great Model

The Angels' Share Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that I didn't warm up to with the first spray. I tested the scent relatively soon after its release and initially wasn't really convinced by it. However, after spending more time with Angels' Share Eau de Parfum and seeing friends wear it, I found it to be a very nice boozy gourmand scent and almost worth the hype. However, I never managed to bring myself to spend nearly €250 for 50ml.

When looking for alternatives, one will currently notice that there are now very many dupes and alternatives to "Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) | Kilian." Many still claim that "Khamrah / خمرة | Lattafa / لطافة" is the best alternative, especially in terms of price/quality ratio. I never understood this, as "Khamrah / خمرة | Lattafa / لطافة," along with other candidates like "Sharaf Blend / شرف | Zimaya," do not resemble the original to my nose at all and have a different scent inspiration, namely "Sava | Gissah / قصة." My biggest criticism of "Khamrah / خمرة | Lattafa / لطافة" and its counterparts has always been the boozy start of "Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) | Kilian."

And it is exactly this wonderful boozy start that we have here with Royal Blend! I find that Royal Blend is, to my nose, the best and closest dupe I have tested so far, especially regarding cheaper alternatives. It comes very close to the original, except for the addition of a lovely plum. That is one of the few differences I can detect between this scent and the original. Of course, if you test both side by side, you will notice differences, but without comparison, there’s hardly a chance.

The fragrance has, alongside the boozy opening with the juicy plum, a beautiful balance between boozy and gourmand, but without the gourmand aspect smelling too realistically like food. It's a warm, spicy scent, but not overly sweet. Truly a beauty for the cold days and a must-try for gourmand lovers.

The packaging is also, as with many of these Arabic brands, reliably good, and the bottle looks really nice, even though it is clearly inspired by the original. Longevity is solid, although a bit weaker than the original, but it still lasts around 8 - 10 hours, and the projection is particularly noticeable at the beginning. It is also significantly less overpowering than "Khamrah / خمرة | Lattafa / لطافة" or "Sharaf Blend / شرف | Zimaya."

The price/quality ratio is of course much better than the original, currently you can get the fragrance for between €40 and €50 for 100ml, which is hard to complain about. I think the scent also makes a really nice gift. For anyone looking for a fragrance that comes closest to "Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) | Kilian," in my opinion, Royal Blend is the way to go.

Price-performance almost criminal

Oh man, where to start with this fragrance. First, maybe the facts. This is of course a dupe of Angels Share, available for about €45 if you look carefully; whether it's 80ml or 100ml was not definitively ascertainable for me, but at that price it doesn't really matter.

A quick note on Angels Share: I have friends who own the original, I know the DNA and thus dared to blind buy this one. The reason I chose this one over other dupes is that it was promised to be a bit "warmer" than the original Angels Share, which, while very deliciously gourmand, smells a bit too cold for me in the dry-down, as if you had left the apple pie outside to cool.
So, I expected a bit more winter warmth from the royal blend.

The packaging is, as one expects from Arabic dupe houses, extremely high quality, with a (slightly scratched for me) metal plaque on the outside, a velvety fabric inside, and a high-quality description of the fragrance pyramid included. Anyone who likes to keep their fragrances in the box for aesthetic or light protection reasons should plan for quite a bit of space here.

Now finally to the scent itself:

Since I bought the fragrance blind, the anticipation is naturally high whether it has truly succeeded and whether you can really recognize the Angels Share DNA. So I quickly unpacked the thing and sprayed it on. Upon the very first sniff, I notice the promised boozy note for about half a minute, which makes me very happy because this is missing in almost all other dupes. But then something comes that reminds me most of Hubba Bubba, and I think to myself, "Man, this doesn't smell like Angels Share." The "bubblegum" note reveals itself after more frequent sniffing over a week as the plum note, which I initially did not recognize, and my friends who received decants from me confirm the plum note. For the first half hour, the fragrance remains in this sweet-warm state, where the cognac is the first to say goodbye, followed by the plum after a few minutes. I actually smell cinnamon continuously; I have no idea why it's in the top notes. I don't want to delve into the heart notes in detail as I unfortunately have no comparison for how they smell individually, but I can say that the fragrance, in the middle of its lifespan, around the end of the first half hour to about 6-8 hours later, shows the greatest similarity to Angels Share in the air. Only my friends who own Angels Share themselves and could compare directly noticed differences. Towards the end of its life, the fragrance fades out with still long and clearly perceivable and very pleasant tonka and vanilla notes; the sandalwood adds a velvety, almost spicy-oriental note at the end, which could not be perceived in the first hours due to the strong sweetness. After a maximum of 10 hours, it becomes skin-close, where you can then smell this result, but it is still a really great fragrance. The longest time I have perceived it on my wrist was very shortly after purchase at about 13 hours. Now that half of my clothing smells like it and I wear it on cold days, I can no longer detect it as well because I have gotten used to the scent.
The longevity on clothing is significantly longer than on the skin; of course, one must consider that, at such a price, it still doesn't hold up to the longevity of Angels Share. I have heard from friends that it can last more than a day on the skin, sometimes even three. However, in light of its truly reasonable price, the Royal Blend is a monster when it comes to longevity and sillage.

Conclusion: If you are looking for the affordable Angels Share that perhaps not everyone has at home yet or simply a fragrance that envelops you warmly and sweetly in winter like a protector, you will find it here. But please, please heed the advice of a student who tends to overspray and who wore the fragrance in the reading room surrounded by friends: when you buy this fragrance, pay attention to the dosage! This fragrance is actually only suitable for special occasions and not for everyday wear; you will be noticed from over a meter away when freshly sprayed, so better to spray less and then add one or two spritzes after a few hours. One more little tip for those who don't initially smell Angels Share: If you have the opportunity, decant the fragrance into a small 5ml (more or less doesn't matter; these are just the ones I've used) bottle and use it maybe once, then let it sit for a few days. When you smell it again, Angels Share should be very recognizable. Alternatively, you can of course let your main bottle mature normally in the way you do with your other fragrances; everyone does that differently, and summer is coming soon, so the fragrance has enough time to develop further.

So, conclusion of the conclusion: You get for your money, on one hand, a fragrance that comes closer than almost all others to Angels Share, and on the other hand, it has no excuses regarding longevity and sillage (like, for example, Kismet Magic/Kismet Angel). Also, independent of Angels Share, this is a great sweet-gourmand winter fragrance that you can use for special occasions and even in the deepest cold at the Christmas market. If you know the DNA, it's an absolute blind buy recommendation.

Kismet Magic is closer to Angels' Share, but Royal Blend is better blended and of higher quality.

A gourmand bomb with amazing alcohol notes paired with cinnamon/apple and cake. A lovely alternative for a small price.

What I like about this scent is that the boozy part is also noticeable here, which is often lacking in many other alternatives.

Royal Blend is a lovely affordable alternative to the well-known Angels Share. Royal Blend contains cognac, plum, cinnamon, iris, and myrrh.

Smells exactly the same. H/S is good, but not exceptional. A definite must for the price.

Great dupe for Angels' Share: boozy, warm, with juicy plum, not too sweet -> excellent value for money, good longevity/sillage. Perfect for cold days and gourmand fans.
