Fantastic opening with a sub-par dry down
Angels share gets its name from the evaporation of alcohol in the cognac barrel. (And that’s as much as I know)
Initial spray: Absolutely. Fantastic. It’s beautiful, it has a very intriguing, fruity, apple rum scent. It behaves very calm while also looking at you in calamity, sharpening a blade and getting ready to slice your nostril hairs.
2-3 hours in: It’s not exactly what I would wear to anyplace. It’s a fresher scent, while having very sweet, almost sharp skin projection. It reminds me of extremely sharp sugar crystals, that have formed around the rim of a whiskey glass, with an apple slice in the middle of the glass. It’s like taking a sip of apple whiskey, and getting cut from the sugar crystals on the rim.
It reminds me of a very rich soccer mom, that might’ve taken a few swigs from the grey goose prior to her sons soccer game.
6-8 hours in: It has died down, while also staring at you with the intent to kill. Still very sharp, almost like nails on a chalkboard. I can hear the crunching of the sugar crystals when I smell it. It’s not a soft ice-cream, but more of a harsh rock candy. I wish the initial rum scent would stay longer, I almost feel like the rum scent makes it calm down a little. The sandalwood becomes extremely harsh, and I almost want to wash it off immediately, but for some reason I just keep smelling it.
To the packaging: I’m a stickler for packaging. If I’m paying big money for a fragrance, then I expect high quality packaging. I think Estée Lauder murdered the packaging on purpose, as their goal was to maximize the profits of the fragrance. I wish the plastic top was glass. I wish the sprayer was slightly more sturdy. It wobbles around when you spray it, and I really hate that. Again, I’m a major stickler for packaging so take my words with a grain of salt on that front.
Final thoughts: It’s really good for the first 2 hours of an event. It quickly dies down after that to something I kind’ve hate and love at the same time. I wish it wasn’t so sharp, and I want more smoothness to it. It leaves so much on the table, and this could be an absolute KILLER fragrance. I just want the ice-cream smoothness, instead I get this sharp crystallized apple sandalwood on the dry down.
