Layering combo to approximate Angels Share OTR

🔥

I tried a sample once of Angels Share OTR and found it a bit too sweet for my taste. But I kind of liked the combination of spices, woods, orange and aldehydes. So tonight, I tried to replicate it with some stuff I have lying around… on each arm, I put:

Three sprays Zara Sand Desert At Sunset Intense, for the angels share DNA
Two sprays Rayhaan Cedrus Blanc, for the aldehydes
Two sprays Rayhaan Adonis Icarus, for some more orange (it occurs to me I should’ve tried two sprays of YSL L’Homme EDP for its bitter orange and cognac)

I can’t say that the result was a perfect dupe of the OTR, but yeah, it kind of reminded me of it and regardless, it smelled fantastic and maybe a bit less sweet (or at least, a kind of sweet that I prefer) than the OTR. It was definitely addictive, I was sniffing my arms all night like a monkey, which is usually a good sign for me

I’ve been testing out Cedrus Blanc, it’s definitely interesting (and slightly weird, but not in a bad way) and I think it can stand on its own, but I think it’s even better as a layering scent to add some bright, soapy lift to other fragrances
