Excellent quality for a Dupe

The Royal Blend is simply outstanding, from the presentation to the scent itself. I can only tell the difference between Royal Blend and Angels Share when I compare them side by side. Both are of excellent quality and very similar in my opinion.
The difference, in my opinion, is that Angels Share has more depth, i.e. I sense more spice and a slight almondy sweetness, certainly from the praline.

9 out of 10 perfume for me

I don’t really like the original Angel Shares, the cinnamon is to strong for my liking and to boozy

The royal blend is more about vanilla, enough cinnamon and less boozy, wearable gourmand scent and perfect for any occasion. I wore this on morning 08 a.m and still able to smell it on 06 p.m, longevity is 10+ hours, stop counting it after 6 p.m

Projection is 4 out of 5, it’s strong but not to strong and after 3 hours it will become moderate.

It’s wearable in tropical climate, didn't feel overwhelmed or nauseated while using it.

No nuclear bomb

Honestly guys, no. Angels Share -> Nope, I have to disappoint you.

In the first prelude:
Boozy plum brandy with a pinch of cinnamon, later vanilla musky, but not really vanilla and not really woody. A musky fluff that still carries the aforementioned fragrance notes, but has no unique selling point. The myrrh note is a big player. The fragrance is warm, soft, spicy and really beautifully made, but miles away from Angel's Share. Nah, the RB is like grandma's plum cake with a twist, as named below. Jemütlich.

Angels Share, on the other hand: Kawuuuummm -> apple pie with cinnamon, flambéed, then iced wood that pairs with the tonka bean (the synthetic note of the wood seems very cold to me, we're talking about when the scent has been on the skin for a few hours, not the radiation), pops in like an atomic bomb, the sillage overpowering and lasts just as long as the after-effects of the explosion described. If Angels Share were a person, it would definitely be on coke. In a private room with leather armchairs and heavy glasses in which the ice cubes clink, but always with an "all eyes on me" attitude.

You can make the Royal Blend wonderfully, it has that certain scent DNA and from a distance the similarity to Angels Share is obvious, but we don't have a 1:1 copy. I also have Cocktail Intense at home, which I actually see more as a dupe, but its longevity is somehow better.

Nevertheless, the reason why Angels Share was allowed to leave was its omnipresence, I would get on much better with Royal Blend. The wearer wears Royal Blend. Angels Share wears you.

But maybe we just need to stop referring to the Orientals as dupe fragrances and see them as independent fragrances with a similar DNA and then everyone will be happy, because for the price, the fragrances are all more than worth the money and always a little highlight in the fragrance direction you are looking for, provided you generally like the somewhat overpowering musky note in the French Avenues, Lattafas and whatever they are all called.

Best alternative to the great role model

Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) | Kilian" is a fragrance that I didn't warm to from the first spray. I tested the fragrance relatively after its release and was somehow not really convinced by the scent at first. But after I had more time with Angels' Share Eau de Parfum and friends of mine have also worn the fragrance, it's a very nice boozy gourmand scent and almost worth the hype. However, I never had the heart to pay the almost 250€ for 50ml.

If you look around for alternatives, you will notice that there are now a lot of dupes and alternatives to Angels' Share Eau de Parfum. Many people still claim that Khamrah is the best alternative, especially in terms of price/quality. However, I have never understood this, as Khamrah, but also candidates such as Sharaf Blend are not at all modeled on the original according to my nose and also have another fragrance as a model, the Sava. What has always been my biggest criticism of Khamrah and its ilk is the boozy start of Angels' Share Eau de Parfum.

And it is precisely this wonderful boozy start that we have here with Royal Blend ! In my opinion, Royal Blend is the best and most similar dupe I've tested so far, especially when it comes to cheaper alternatives. It comes very close to the original, except for the addition of a nice plum. This is one of the few differences I can smell between this fragrance and the original. Of course, if you test the two next to each other, you will smell differences, but without a comparison, hardly a chance.

In addition to the boozy opening with the juicy plum, the fragrance has this beautiful balance between boozy and gourmand, but without the gourmand aspect smelling too realistically like food. The whole thing is a warm, cinnamony scent, but not too overpoweringly sweet either. Truly a beauty for cold days and a must-try for gourmand lovers.

The packaging is also, as with many of these Arabian brands, as good as usual and the bottle looks really good, even if it is of course very clearly modeled on the original. Longevity is solid, if a little weaker than the original, but you still get your 8 - 10h and the projection is clearly present, especially at the beginning. It is also significantly less penetrating than the Khamrah or the Sharaf Blend
P/L is of course much better than the original, currently you can get the fragrance for between 40 and 50€ for 100ml, there's nothing to complain about. I think the fragrance also makes a really nice gift. If you're looking for the fragrance that comes closest to Angels' Share Eau de Parfum, I think you can't go past Royal Blend.

Price performance almost criminal

Oh man, where do you start with this fragrance. First of all, perhaps the facts. The whole thing is of course a dupe to the Angels Share, available for about 45€ if you look correctly, whether it is 80ml or 100ml was not finally determinable for me, but that doesn't matter at the price.

Briefly about the Angels Share, I have friends who own the original, I know the DNA and therefore dared to buy this one blind. Why it was this one and not another dupe is because this one was promised to be a little "warmer" than the original angels share, which is very deliciously gourmand, but smells a little too cold for me in the dry-down, as if the apple pie had been put outside to cool down.
So I was expecting a little more winter warmth from the royal blend.

The packaging is of extremely high quality, as you would expect from Arabian dupe houses, with a (slightly scratched in my case) metal plaque on the outside, a velvety fabric inside and a high-quality description of the fragrance pyramid enclosed. If you like to keep your fragrances in the box for aesthetic or light protection reasons, you should plan some space here.

But now finally to the fragrance itself:

Since I bought the fragrance blind, the tension is naturally high as to whether it is really successful and whether you can really recognize the angels share DNA. So I quickly unpacked it and sprayed it on. The very first time I smell it, I notice the promised boozy note for almost half a minute, which makes me very happy because this is missing in almost all other dupes. But then comes something that reminds me most of Hubba Bubba and I think to myself, "That doesn't smell like angels share". After smelling it several times over a week, the "bubblegum" turns out to be the plum note, which I didn't recognize at first and my friends who have received bottlings from me also confirm the plum note. For the first half hour, the fragrance remains in this sweet and warm state, with the cognac being the first to leave and the plum following a few minutes later. I can actually smell cinnamon throughout, I have no idea why it is in the top notes. I don't want to go into detail about the heart notes because unfortunately I don't have a comparison of how they smell individually, but I can say that the fragrance is most similar to Angels Share in the air towards the middle of its life, i.e. from about the end of the first half hour until after about 6-8 hours. Only my friends who own Angels Share and could compare it directly could still smell differences. At the end of its life, the fragrance fades out with the still long and clearly perceptible and very pleasant tonka and vanilla notes, the sandalwood gives it a velvety, almost spicy-oriental note towards the end, which you could not perceive for the first few hours due to the strong sweetness. After 10 hours at the latest, it becomes very close to where you can smell this result, but it is still a really great fragrance. The longest time after which I have noticed it on my wrist so far was very shortly after purchase with about 13 hours. Now that half of my clothes smell of it and I wear it on cold days, I can no longer smell it so well because I've gotten used to the scent.
The durability on clothing is significantly longer than on the skin, of course you have to consider that at such a price it still doesn't keep up with the durability of Angel's Share, I have heard from friends that it should last more than a day, sometimes even three, even on the skin. However, considering its really grateful price, the Royal Blend is a monster in terms of longevity and sillage.

Conclusion: If you are looking for the affordable Angels Share that perhaps not everyone has at home yet or simply a fragrance that envelops you warmly and sweetly in winter like a protector, you will find it here. But please listen to the advice of a student who likes to over-spray and who has worn the fragrance in the reading room surrounded by his friends, if you buy this fragrance, pay attention to the dosage! This fragrance is really only suitable for special occasions and not for everyday wear, you will be noticed from over a meter away when it is freshly sprayed, so it is better to spray too little and then add a spritz or two after a few hours. A little tip for those who can't smell Angels Share at first: If you have the opportunity, fill the fragrance into a small 5ml (more or less doesn't matter - these are just the ones I used) bottle and use it once, then leave it for a few days. When you smell it again, Angels Share should be very recognizable. Alternatively, you can of course leave your main bottle to mature as normal in the same way as you do with your other fragrances, everyone does it differently and summer is coming soon, so the fragrance has enough time to develop again.

So to sum up: for your money you get a fragrance that comes closer to Angels Share than almost any other, but on the other hand has no excuses in terms of durability and sillage (such as Kismet Magic / Kismet Angel). Even independently of Angels Share, this is a great, sweet-gourmand winter fragrance that you can use for special occasions and also in the deepest cold at the Christmas market. If you know the DNA, it's also an absolute blind buy recommendation.
