Finally, brands like Maison Alhambra are also on Parfumo, as it's a good place to exchange information about inexpensive alternatives. Of course, many more will follow in the next few weeks, as this brand is constantly putting out releases and they have to be registered first. This great Kismet Magic is fortunately already registered here, but without a review so far, which I am now changing. This dupe sub-brand of Lattafa used to be called Kismet Angel, which is now Magic. This applies to many fragrances of this brand. There may have been complaints similar to the TF range with the identical bottles. However, Angel and Magic are 1:1 the same as many other releases of this brand.
I am well stocked up with the original
Angels' Share Eau de Parfum. A relatively full 50ml bottle including refill. Nevertheless, I think dupes are a great addition. Especially if you want to smell good for 2-3 hours in trivial situations, I find dupes quite good as the more valuable original is often too much of a pity. At 15€ per 100ml, you can store this fragrance anywhere as a bottle without any problems. Because this top note is simply damn close to the original and not even that easy to distinguish. I can absolutely recommend this Kismet Magic for this price if you want to get a lot out of it for a small price. In the overall package of packaging, bottle and fragrance, it could easily be sold for four times as much, at least. A really great seductive fragrance for colder days and gourmand fans.
In contrast to Lattafa's Kahmrah, this really is an Angels Share dupe and a very good one at that. Although the original is perfection in my eyes when it comes to details, this dupe does its job extremely well: boozy cognac, cinnamon, lovely soft tonka bean, great gourmand-seductive praline, vanilla and also a little sandalwood. The notes and the fragrance are very close to the original. The original is more beautiful in detail: cognac seems a little more refined and this gourmand sweetness also seems totally perfected. The original also retains more power towards the base and has that certain something. However, you have to admit with this Kismet Magic: This top note is simply bombastic. If you don't have such high expectations, you can order this fragrance for €15 without any worries. After 4-5 hours it fades slightly, which the original does not have. Overall, however, a fragrance that completely convinces me in everyday situations for in between.
Performance is quite good and the sillage in the first hours is not much weaker than the original. After 4-5 hours it becomes a little weaker, but remains at a high level. Already Beastmode the first hours. Can be worn in large rooms and outdoors without any problems. A great fragrance for the colder season and simply for gourmand lovers.
This dupe is really extremely successful. Even though I love and prefer the original of course, this is a great addition and a great substitute for people who don't have the money or want to shell out.
