I put Angham on my left hand and GODDESS on my right hand.
Well, unless the Angham sample I have was diluted with ethanol,Angham has a weaker scent. Or rather, it's shallow. Goddess has more depth.
It's true that Angham has a volatile scent of "obvious lavender essential oil". Camphor-like.On the other hand, Goddess doesn't make the mistake of "the scent of lavender alone stands out"with the bitterness of lavender and cocoa mixed well. It's similar in nuance to cheap fast fashion that is sloppy in sewing and have any loose threads. In short, Goddess is more seamless.
Angham tries hard to look like the real thing, but the poor sewing and design make it obvious that it's a copy.
It's like SHEIN's clothes that imitate high-end brands. In that respect, Goddess's "masculine" sharpness of lavender and ginger is nicely offset by the powdery sweetness of cocoa. This gives it a slightly smoky nuance, and I think it brings out a refreshing sweetness like Earl Grey tea. No one will say it, but Goddess has a smoky and sour taste that is a bit like Earl Grey tea. I know that it's not a black tea fragrance.
So, those who know Goddess will find Angham thin. It feels like it's lacking "umami". It feels like the dashi is not effective. It feels like a dish made by an amateur.
I can imagine that if someone who has tried Goddess tried Angham with their memory of it from more than a year ago, they would say, "This is an elaborate dupe of Goddess!"
Angham smells like Goddess's "memory". It's like they tried Goddess in the store and mixed it while smelling their arm. (They probably bought a bottle and studied it.) But the difference is noticeable when comparing the left and right.
I don't like Goddess (because it feels like the vanilla is crushed by the ginger and lavender), but if you like Goddess, you should buy Goddess. Goddess also wins in terms of longevity. If you are a vanilla lover, always thinking about vanilla, and have been fooled by reviews that say "The best vanilla perfume!" at least three times, I can assure you that this is not the vanilla you are looking for. Well, the same goes for Goddess. Neither Goddess nor Angham are vanilla for "vanilla lover". They are vanilla beginners. I did warn you properly. Lol. In the jungle of perfumes, if a vanilla lover writes a warning sign on the signpost saying "This is not vanilla", it is most likely not vanilla. If you want to try it, please go over my dead body. Lol. There are only about 3 teaspoons of vanilla in it. You will definitely say it. "There's no vanilla in it!"
PS: After 2 hours of wearing it, only the Angham smelled of "tobacco". It was bitter. Other people have pointed this out too, so there's a good chance that my sample isn't fake.
