Kianna Angel

The Verdict

Kianna Angel by Afnan is a decent clone of Kayali's Yum Pistachio Gelato 33. It captures the general idea, but the lower quality ingredients are noticeable. If you want a cheap thrill and a predominantly sweet gourmand profile, this is a viable option. However, those seeking the full, rich experience of the original might find it lacking. For others, this will scratch the itch.

The Scent Profile

Kianna Angel opens with a blast of pistachio, but it's noticeably less nuanced than the Kayali. A synthetic ice cream accord attempts to mimic the gelato effect, but falls short, lacking the creamy depth of the original. Bergamot provides a fleeting citrus lift. The heart introduces a recognizable lily-of-the-valley note, slightly sharper and more dominant here compared to Yum Pistachio Gelato. The pear is present, but muted. Jasmine adds a touch of floral sweetness, but it’s a basic, almost generic interpretation. The drydown leans heavily on the sugary aspects: whipped cream, marshmallow, and cotton candy. The pistachio fades, leaving a cloying sweetness that, while present in Yum, is amplified here. Overall, it's about 93% similar to the original, but the quality of ingredients and blending is where the gap is most evident.

How Long Does it Last?

Projection is moderate for the first hour, creating a decent scent bubble. Longevity is respectable, clocking in at around 5-6 hours on skin. However, it becomes a skin scent relatively quickly. Considering the price point, the performance is acceptable.
