Fruity in the Car

I'll get straight to the point. I was hyped about the scent. Angel's Share with the same performance, not quite the same, but similar, they said, great bottle they said... Well.

The bottle does look good. But the cap? The lid was so tightly on that eventually the metal ring below the sprayer came off with it.

Now to the scent. Do you remember from back in the day? You're sitting in your parents' car, in my case an old Passat, the seats covered in faux fur, and Dad can't resist smoking in the car from time to time. I'm not saying this scent smells like smoke. But smoking in the car does something to the interior. It starts to smell different. Somewhat sweet and musty, and the faux fur contributes to that as well.

But Mom is not happy with that at all and hangs a vanilla air freshener in the car, which spreads its scent dominantly throughout. Still, there's that sweet mustiness lingering. Combined with the sweet synthetic vanilla, it's almost deadly, and more than the commute is not bearable with this scent combo (pun intended haha). But there's more...

Mom makes butter sandwiches for Dad every morning. And since he sits a lot and shouldn't just eat salami and cheese with a thick layer of butter on the folded sandwich, she always adds a bit of fruit to the lunchbox. Unfortunately, Dad doesn't like the fruit at all. So he just stashes it in the glove compartment. Out of sight, out of mind.

But what happens with this whole setup when on a nice day the sun shines into the car and everything warms up nicely?

I can tell you...

KHAMRAH HAPPENS!!!!

Just to make it clear. I love Angel's Share and find it so worship-worthy that I think it's almost too precious to wear. But you could tie KHAMRAH to my stomach and I still wouldn't wear it. I've since given it to my brother, and he is absolutely thrilled.

That's a wonderfully vivid anecdote! I enjoyed reading it! 🏆
Khamra is indeed a terrible concoction. I love Angel's Share, but this smells nothing like it and makes me feel nauseous.

I can definitely smell the fermenting fruit as well. I was expecting more from this bottle, and I'm glad I didn't buy it blindly (I was really close to doing so because of all the excitement here).
