Spirit of Heaven Men Milton-Lloyd Eau de Toilette

Dirt cheap caramel sweetness!
This scent comes in a pressurised bottle, which can make dosage a little tricky.
For the cheap price it has, this fragrance amazes me a lot. Performance is great and it's so close to A*men

Longevity: 4.5/5 (10+ hours)
Sillage: 3.5/5 (average/above average)
Compliments: 3/5 (to sweet for some)
Uniqueness: 3/5 (really close to A*men)

For the price of a Kinder Surprise Egg, you get a fragrance surprise from Milton Lloyd.
Due to the distribution channels, these are mostly blind purchases with low risk, a surprise without regret.

“Spirit of Heaven” even smells like a Kinder Surprise Egg, as if our 5-year-old self opened one on a warm day.
Sweet chocolate sticks to little hands and a hint of plastic lingers in the air.

This is the impression upon the first spray. It is sweet, it clings, and at first, despite all goodwill, it is not an unqualified joy:
Alongside the dominant chocolate-vanilla shock, there is a sour dissonance, something between cold instant coffee and an overheated electrical device. (Strange that no one has ever described this before?) Fortunately, this dissonance fades after a few minutes, and the actual fragrance becomes clearer. The gourmand comes around the corner, something else indistinct stands by its side. Sometimes it’s menthol. It’s a bit herbal… but it’s actually hard to name. Perhaps the mix of green and gourmand (that is indeed the narrative for the fragrance) is just so wild that the resulting chimera eludes description.
Good news - the fragrance gets significantly better over time - it lingers very pleasantly on clothing.
The scent has something very comforting, soothing. When it has rained, for homey settings, perhaps you use it more for yourself, not so much to impress others.
I love the deodorant sprayer, even though it is far too sporty for the fragrance.

Spirit of Heaven, or A*men for bargain hunters. SoH starts off with the same wonderful top note as its model, and the caramel/vanilla note blends with the coriander that is not specified here, which must be included unless it's pine that gives this impression...

Be that as it may: Those who like A*men can confidently reach for Milton Lloyd's copy. I find it does not fall short of the original in any way. The longevity is also on point, and there's nothing to fear in terms of sillage.

Like every bottle you purchase from this house, this one is also under pressure and sprays very fine and evenly, but it makes dosing a bit tricky, as even with light pressure a decent amount shoots out.

Once again, a clear recommendation for the budget-conscious!
