Fantastic review thank you! I really appreciate how your confident enough to stray from what fragrantica says. Sounds like Kismet Angel is more suited to me than even Angels Share
I have both Khamrah and Cocktail Intense, I prefer the sweetness and gourmandish opening of Khamrah but in the dry down I prefer the boozyness, spicy and soft vanillic smell of Cocktail Intense!.In my collection a place Cocktail Intense 1st and Khamrah 2nd in terms of Angel's Share DNA based fragrances!
I have both Khamrah, and Kismet Angel. I have not tried Angel Share, or other clones like Cocktail Intense or Engma Deux. I love Khamrah, and echo what is said in video. Kismet Angel is boozier, and to my nose has a boozy apple pie vibe. I recently discovered the pleasure of layering it with Al Haramain Tobacco Edition. Get both Khamrah and Kismet Angel, or try another dupe instead.
Yep. 💯 spot on review. Kismet Angel is the best. So boozy and intoxicating. I found that Cocktail Intense just doesn't have that boozyness and it's also worst performer. With Khamrah and Kismet Angel I get 8hrs+ whereas I only got 5-6hrs max with Cocktail Intense. My favourite is Kismet Angel because of its pumchiness. Khamrah is more mellow but still sexy
Thank you for saying Khamrah is not a clone of Angel Share. I totally agree. I have both and Khamrah is in the same zip code, but that's it. But for me Kismet Angel, again for me, is almost spot on. They really captured the boozy note. I've never smelled Cocktail Intense.
Have khamrah, kismet Angel, and just picked up cocktail intense…. Spot on agree with his descriptions of both. I like stronger with you, so a little of that chestnut “flavor” in the angels share dna hits great with me. Kismet Angel is there closer to the OG if that’s ur intent.
I don’t think they are identical. If I had to pick one that truly was as close to the real angels share out of the three…it would be, someday surprisingly (as the cost is still pretty phenomenal) kismet Angel. Especially after it macerates a bit and gets a more “concentrated” boozy and sweet scent. Khamrah is a great scent, don’t get me wrong, but, deviates from the OG Pretty substantially, imo. Cocktail Intense is great too…I’m letting that macerate a little longer to see if that gets it a little closer to the kismet Angel.
I haven't smelled Cocktail Intense and I agree Khamrah doesn't exactly smell like Angel share but the best scent out if kismet Angel, Angel Share itself and Engma is Khamrah. I'm telling you people. Khamrah is the truth
Khamrah is way over hyped. It is ok scent , great performer but scent itself is like praline overdose you can barely smell anything else. Kismet Angel is so much better, like miles better than Khamrah, both as closeness to angel's share and scent itself
Many are saying Kamrah is not a clone,but more of an inspiration,it has its own twist. Its why I may settle for it as it takes a life of its own.Otherwise very good review my brother,no drama no BS just honest review.
I got Khamrah first. Turns out i like boozy note. Whoever thought? Lol love it, and i just tried Kismet Angel and it's pretty boosy. I also ordered Cocktail, but it'll be couple weeks before i try it out. Probably it's cold in AK now. So, Khamrah is the best at the moment, however, i just got Kismet Angel, so im still tasting it. One day, I'll get original Angel Share
I have kismet angel, cocktail intense and khamrah. KA is darker while CI is lighter and smoother to my nose. Khamrah is totally different smell. More feminine.
Tried all of these and none of them are an exact replica. iMO Brooklyn Fragrance Lover by Alexandria Fragrances is 99% the same, except the cinnamon takes precedence and in Angel Share the Cognac is the dominant note.
I ordered Cocktail Intense, but I'm extremely nervous because I'm reading so many people saying it's weak with crappy longevity. I hope they're wrong. :(
It’s not a bad scent. You really can’t judge the middle eastern scents on longevity until they macerate. So out if the box they often start weak but get stronger
I do, I’m going to do a follow up vid now that they’ve all macerated but I’ll give you a sneak peek and yes Kismet Angel is still the best (in my opinion). Wore it the day before yesterday
I really could not decide between the three so I went for the cheapest one which right now is Cocktail Intense for 20 bucks shipped 😬 I have never smelled the original DNA so I just want a piece of the pie instead of purchasing a decant of AS for $12 😂
Hey nothing wrong with that! If you get a chance to get Kismet Angel, it’s still the best clone in my opinion and the price has dropped to about $20 these days.
No love for Emir Fire Your Desire? It's good but much lighter. Modest projection with good longevity. Better for closer encounters. Enigma Deux by FA Paris is supposedly a projection monster. Something I might get when available. I was going to get Cocktail Intense but heard that if one has Fire Your Desire and Kismet Angel to not bother. I just layer those two together for a more intriguing outcome. Angels Share is the benchmark. Everything is either mostly twist, inspired by, and undershooting. In the case of Enigma Deux, it's overshooting. So, the FA Paris projection bomb monster might be worth a try.
@@gentlemansoracle4791 Only from what I heard the Enigma line is showing itself it be blind buy worthy. It's matching DNA surpassing 90 percent to 100 percent. Performance is looking to be beast mode from initial reviews.
How close the smell of cocktail intense is to angels share ? Do we smell very well the cinnamon ? and the cognac is less intense ? I hesitate to buy this one beacause i don't found kismet Angel on the internet 😭 . Thanks for your answer !
I knew someone would bring that up! LOL! Performance is the issue with me on that one. Its a good scent as well but i think the others have smell better and have better performance. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@gentlemansoracle4791 oh ok thank for replying but I think u got a bad batch or or u just not a Heavy handed sprayer 7 sprays last me 8 to 9hr but with cocktail only 4 to maybe 5hr with the same 7 sprays have to reapply
with Cocktail, i am definitely not getting the performance of the others as well but that might just be maceration at this point. Ill know better in a couple of weeks
Question,,, do any of them have a oud vibe.. I got that confidential gold one, and 😬😬😬 it’s EXTRA STRONG to my nose, it’s supposed to not have oud but 😫😫😫 I can’t with that one.. So my question to you is,, which one would u recommend as far as being more Friendly 🤣🤣😫 at this point I’m scared to purchase any more Arab fragrances 🤷🏾♀️✊🏾
Great question! Most of the ones i put on that list are mass friendly. Im not a big oud fan either. It has to be done right for me. Confidential Gold shouldnt have oud in it though. What type of scents do you normally like?
Also, of the 3 i would say Cocktail Intense is probably the safest as far as being mass approved. I love Kismet Angel but not everyone likes the booziness.
@@gentlemansoracle4791 thank you so much for responding 🥰 I love the TF tobacco vanilla fragrance.. for me it’s strong but wearable, it has a Pepsi or Coke Cola type sent.. something along those lines.. I’m starting to think Beast means oud in some of these Other peoples reviews.. I sprayed a headscarf with the Confidential private gold,, 3 DAYS AGO and left it OUTSIDE, it’s still out there shocking out the birds 🤣🤣🤣💀💀😫😫😬🤷🏾♀️
@@gentlemansoracle4791 yes I got that one, now that one I like, The NEW one , nooooo Smells Oudie to me.. it’s in a black bottle just like the OG and Thank goodness Ulta had a test bottle out, cause Brotha I PROMISE YOU I’d took it back so damn fast,, 🤣🤣🤣💀🤷🏾♀️
9:00 The breakdown from her was REALLY key. I haven’t seen another reviewer do this. This was helpful 👌🏾👍🏾
Thanks for watching!
I actually put Kismet Angel overlaid a Vanilla Bourbon Body Lotion from Yves Rocher. MAN!!!! I love K.A!!!!
I picked up Khamrah the other day - wife absolutely hates it on her but loves it on me. It's a winner, best Autumn Fragrance I have !
Great scent!

I get over 6 hours on Cocktail intense tbvh
@@okekeekpereamaka1663 good for you. But I also felt it lacked the boozyness which Kismet has loads of and IMO it makes it better

According to frangantica Kismet, and Cocktail habe the same notes as Angel's Share.
However, Khamrah has the more. I call it an upgraded version.
*Kismet is the closest one.
Facts!
Cocktail Intense is little less boozy but brighter and creamier. I prefer it. Love it, beast performance for me (Poor Office mates....LOL )
Many are saying Kamrah is not a clone,but more of an inspiration,it has its own twist. Its why I may settle for it as it takes a life of its own.Otherwise very good review my brother,no drama no BS just honest review.

Hey! I’d loved to hear what you think when you get them all. Thanks for watching!
A year later( if you're still alive) what's your verdict? Have you tried others in the same DNA? Like royal blend or any other.
I have kismet angel, cocktail intense and khamrah. KA is darker while CI is lighter and smoother to my nose. Khamrah is totally different smell. More feminine.
Hmm….I can see that. Great analysis.
@@gentlemansoracle4791 thanks. Appreciate that.
Excellent review. Makes me want to go out and get kismet Angel.
You won’t be disappointed! It’s awesome! I have a follow up video where I add some of the newer clones. Spoiler: Kismet Angel is still the king for me
Appreciate the video fam!! I just grabbed Kismet Angel............Keep em coming
Thanks for watching Bro!
And let me know what you think about it.
Tried all of these and none of them are an exact replica. iMO Brooklyn Fragrance Lover by Alexandria Fragrances is 99% the same, except the cinnamon takes precedence and in Angel Share the Cognac is the dominant note.
💯
Hello friend Steph here from Brooklyn I just subscribed and liked. Great review 👏 i have Khamrah im going to try Kismet ❤
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing!
This was informative. Thank you.
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
Do you think it redundant to own both Cocktail Intense and Khamrah?
I actually dont, Khamrah is different enough i that it is darker than the others. Especially if you like that type of scent DNA.
Cocktail is $17 vs $34 so get the cheapest. Unfortunately too much hype around khamara so it's overpriced
I ordered Cocktail Intense, but I'm extremely nervous because I'm reading so many people saying it's weak with crappy longevity. I hope they're wrong. :(
It’s not a bad scent. You really can’t judge the middle eastern scents on longevity until they macerate. So out if the box they often start weak but get stronger
@@gentlemansoracle4791 How long would you suggest to Macerate?
It usually takes a couple of weeks at least. Usually after about a week or so they are much smoother and just get better with time.
@@mrmozez1500 couple weeks, atomise at least 10 pumps off then leave it in the fridge with the bottle top off.

Try Alexandria Fragrances " Brooklyn Lovers for spot on Angel Share
Heard about that one. I like Alexandria Fragrances. Thanks for commenting!
Now u need to try Borouj Sillage and let us know.
Will do Bro!
Great review I love all 3
Thanks! And thanks for watching!
YOU NEED TO LOOK THIS: SAND DESERT AT SUNSET BY ZARA, FROM THE SAME CREATOR OF ANGELS SHARE
Aw man! What’s it smell like?
@@gentlemansoracle4791 exquisite: like angel share without liqueur, but still same vibes
I’ll check it out
Nevet tought that LL cool j would do a fragrance review
😂 I’ll take that
Would it be a stupid decision to get Cocktail Intense if I'm allergic to nuts or should I stick with Kismet Angel?
Not at all, i dont think they use real nuts in them. But it is really similar to kismet angel so make sure you get a good deal on it.
Do you still think that Kismet Angel is the best dupe of Angel’s Share?
I do, I’m going to do a follow up vid now that they’ve all macerated but I’ll give you a sneak peek and yes Kismet Angel is still the best (in my opinion). Wore it the day before yesterday
@@gentlemansoracle4791 thank you! I couldn’t decide between Kismet Angel and Cocktail Intense but I think I will take Kismet Angel
So should i get kizment angel or cocktail intense? I have khamrah. I love sweet woody smells. Help me out man!!!
I’m still Kismet Angel all the way!
@@gentlemansoracle4791 is kismet more woody or is cocktail more woody? That's how I will base my decision on what to get
@@carasparks8500 Cocktail I would say is note woody whereas Kismet is note boozy
La Fede Intoxicate!

@@gentlemansoracle4791which one has the best performance though ?
Cocktail is $17 now. Went with that. Kismet is around $21

Good looking out!
Is cocktail intense better than sharaf blend. I found that one to be too feminine
I haven’t tried Sharaf yet. I can say Cocktail Intense is a good clone. I still prefer Kismet Angel as it’s a little boozier but CI is a solid choice
Thanks so much!!
You’re very welcome! Thanks for watching!
What cologne would you recommend for the gym?
What kind of scents do you like?
@@gentlemansoracle4791 fresh outdoor or more of a ocean vibe.
excellent review, do more
Thanks, will do! and thanks for watching!
Sorry im not very good at english, who wins for you then? Kismet or Cocktail? :) cheers
Kismet Angel is still my favorite. Thanks for watching!
Hello, how long does the scent last in hours?
They all last a pretty good while after maceration. Cocktail Intense is the weakest of the. But it still lasts about 6 hours.
Is there any similarities between khamrah and dior homme intense?
They are very different. Dior homme is an iris based scent. It’s a great cologne but different from the Angel share dna.
Very good review
Thanks so much!
which one suits male the most?
Any of them work as unisex. You’d be fine with it either. I wear all of them
@@gentlemansoracle4791 thanks

Thanks for your answer !
It’s pretty close. Both are really good clones and in the dry down they are mostly alike
@@gentlemansoracle4791 Thanks a lot, your video was on top 💫 !
By the way, I’d you want the stronger cinnamon, get Kismet Angel. The cinnamon isn’t as prominent in Cocktail Intense
@@gentlemansoracle4791 Okey, I will try to found kismet Angel 😊
