Kismet Magic Maison Alhambra

I have already tested many AS alternatives. Each had its pros and cons or are even standalone interpretations of the popular DNA, which are truly beautiful and perfect for the dark and cold season.

The fragrance starts off with a strong cognac! Cinnamon and woods quickly join in, making it beautifully balsamic from the very beginning, so it doesn't remain just a purely alcoholic top note and leaves you wanting more. In the dry down, it becomes beautifully warm with vanilla and praline, and the cognac lingers for quite a while on me. It holds wonderfully on clothing and is also beautiful on the skin. A boozy, warm scent - I love it. What I particularly like here is that the individual notes are wonderfully perceptible and yet blend beautifully together. What you get here for under €20 is simply amazing!

If you love the AS DNA, I believe you are absolutely right here! Also recommended as a blind buy!
