Let's start off correctly - this is not a clone of Angel's Share. AS has a very distinct cognac/apple brandy note and is much sweeter than Sand Desert at Sunset.
SDAS rather is doing its own thing, but it is undeniable that there might have been some inspiration. The smell is comforting, inviting, and warm.
The opening's orange and cinnamon leave you out like a bakery, in a great way that is never overpowering. The tonka and chocolate drydown is for me the most prominent part, and I do not smell an incense or iris note as listed. I wish there was a vanilla note on this, but it could have been disastrous.
Its a beautiful scent whose opening and dry down are very reminiscent to me of Hugo Boss' The Scent for Him, but with less freshness and leaning into the sweetness of the notes.
I got it as a Christmas Secret Santa gift (impressive choice by my uncle), so can't comment on value fairly. But damn, its a great pricetag for what you get. If you are into gourmand and sweet fragrances, please get your nose on this.
