After the EdP in my collection received the "Marzipan scent label," I would simply add "+Pistachio Cream" to the Extrait.

First sniff feels lighter than the EdP - then the pistachio comes through shortly after. Here, the note feels rather milky/creamy.
Then a slight hint of leather comes in - which I personally find rather disturbing & more masculine than the EdP.

Tonka & vanilla always hovering lightly in the background.

In the dry down, I find it very similar to the EdP and do not perceive any significant differences.

My subjective conclusion: I find the EdP much more elegant, refined, harmonious and would always prefer this one.

First Sniff - Campfire, Wood, Fir, Burnt, Smoke?

It immediately gave me something burnt (woody) and I was irritated because I simply expected something different.
The date comes through after about 15 minutes and sweetens the whole thing - still, my campfire image remains throughout the entire progression.
It also has a balsamic quality.
In the dry down, it’s slightly creamier, oriental.

A date that simply doesn’t suit my taste.

Reminds me at first of Arabians Tonka - yet with a distinctly smokier tobacco note, in my opinion. Dry, not sweet, as I see it.
In the dry down, it becomes slightly creamy but remains consistently smoky.
Anyone who likes AT will surely find this one really good too - it just has nuances that differ.
I would describe it as "softer" in overall appearance, absolutely unique and for me more smoke/tobacco.

At the first sniff (already influenced by the knowledge of the similarities), it immediately gave me Angels Share vibes - BUT significantly less alcoholic and boozy.
For example, when I think of the Mystic Dream by Lou de Pre, it has a very noticeable apple/cinnamon note - Heaven's Reserve is more subtle in that regard.
Especially in the opening, the plum comes through nicely, and I find only a hint of an alcoholic note later on.
If Angels Share is too BOOZY for you and Mystic Dream has too many baked apple notes, you will find what you're looking for in HR.
A rounded, beautiful winter scent with great price/performance.

First things first: super beautiful scent!

And somehow it is everything - without knowing the notes, I perceived it as smoky, fresh, and slightly floral.

The "freshness" definitely comes from the pepper, which fades noticeably over time.
In return, the tobacco and cinnamon come through very well.

Tonka and nutmeg are also noticeable - in the dry down, it becomes creamier, vanillic.

At first, I find it very lovely, but over time it also develops a "dark side."

Overall, just a super beautiful scent! Also very unisex - I can easily imagine that it layers well.

If I had to point out something, I would say that it lacks that spark of "outstanding."

It can definitely work as a blind buy or gift because it is SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL.
+super longevity and also noticeable, (on me) not a "beast" but long-lasting.
