Sweet Incense Man
After the Angels’ Share has found its way into various reviews time and again, I finally decided to give it a try and ordered a sample.
And the question of all questions beforehand, will it be my Christmas scent?
Upon spraying: A substantial wave of cognac and cinnamon enters the room, creating a cozy atmosphere, making you want to spend the day in a relaxed manner. As it develops, I start to feel real incense man vibes, and slowly hazelnut joins the mix.
In the end, the scent becomes beautifully gourmand, and somehow I really liked it, but! After 2 hours of wear, the scent unfortunately didn’t project as strongly on my skin anymore. I had significantly more success with Lira.
But basically, AS is a very nice scent for the colder season, and the bottle also makes a very nice impression, however, I will probably have to keep searching.

Bought/Loved
The Wūlóng Chá is probably the third fragrance from the house of Nishane, and I appreciate the world of scents from Istanbul even more.
The first spray starts with a fresh, prominent tea note and citrus aromas; as the fragrance develops, it becomes increasingly green, but not herbaceous green-rather fresh, intense, tea-like, and definitely room-filling.
The sillage and performance are very strong for a tea fragrance, bringing a true wellness character with it.
Personally, I find this Nishane to be a must-have for any collection.
The packaging from Nishane is also really stylishly done.

Crime Scene Mars
It's not easy. The bottle makes quite an impression, so I was all the more curious about the scent. Since I really like blood orange in perfumes, I naturally wanted to try Kalan. Our first encounter was therefore a bit more complicated than I expected.
After applying, the first shock hit me; I had primarily expected something different. The blood orange-spice-pepper combo comes across as quite a jumble, a real mess, only in the drydown does it become more pleasant, but only after lavender and the solar note have had their say.
I can completely understand why opinions are divided on Kalan; it is definitely not a blind buy.
He is certainly not one of the better Malsys, and the best season to wear him would probably take place on Mars.
