For those who love the Cognac-heavy warmth of "Angels' Share (Eau de Parfum) | Kilian," but desire more fruitiness like in "Angels' Share Paradis | Kilian," "Fire on Ice | Lattafa / لطافة" offers a good alternative.

Even in the first seconds, a dense cloud of raspberries emerges, more like a sweet raspberry syrup, cinnamon sugar, and a note of Cognac that resembles a velvety liqueur rather than sharp alcohol. The sweetness does not cling to the skin but feels rather "chilled," almost like a sorbet that softens the slight spiciness of cinnamon.

I perceive the typical Angels Share DNA throughout the scent's progression, with a hint of rose and woods in the background. This progression remains consistent the entire time, but the raspberry syrup dominates, which I personally find very nice.

Longevity: On clothes, it lasts until the next day; on the skin, a good 7-8 hours.

Sillage: Very good in the first hours, but after about 4 hours, it fades a bit for my nose.

I will let the fragrance mature until winter; I believe it will perform even better then.

I would generally say the scent is slightly more suitable for women but is clearly unisex.

Hercules is a true hidden gem: warm, spicy, soft-sweet, and surprisingly high-quality. I snagged this beautiful piece for €13 during the sale week.

Even the first spray catapulted me into the familiar world of Herod, only that Hercules presents it all a bit rawer and at the same time more suitable for everyday wear. A spicy-warm tobacco note
meets creamy vanilla, softly cushioned by cinnamon, pepper, and a hint of Osmanthus (fruity, floral, with a touch of leather). The combination feels less sugary and not quite as opulent as its predecessor, making it airier and thus even more pleasant to wear in the office or on relaxed weekend days.

After about 10 minutes, the scent becomes really cozy: sweet vanilla meets warm tobacco, a hint of smoke lingers in the air. Everything remains soft, never heavy.

Longevity?? Easily 8 hours with a projection that is noticeably perceptible in the first 2 to 3 hours, but never intrusive. After that, a pleasant "scent bubble" stays close to the skin.

But the most striking point is really the price: with a bit of luck €13, but otherwise €20 is an absolute no-brainer. For just two movie tickets, you get a reasonably good-looking bottle and a fragrance DNA for which you would normally pay a multiple.

A true Herod-cules indeed - a secret demigod in the fragrance Olympus, breaking price-performance chains and astonishing even spoiled niche noses.

Even with the first spray, Luna feels like a sunbeam on freshly washed laundry, zesty citrus, freshness, and prominent lavender, as if standing in a Mediterranean field in midsummer. The "bright" top note makes the scent noticeably fresher, airier, and less sweet than its big counterpart Naxos.

After a few minutes, the honey emerges along with a hint of cinnamon; unlike Naxos, the tobacco here feels much lighter, less "smoky," and enveloped in a vanilla powderiness.

As for performance, I can only say that longevity and sillage are very good, lasting 8-9 hours, with 3 hours of noticeable projection.

However, anyone looking for a 90%+ Naxos "dupe" will have to keep searching.
