Cocktail Intense

Is it Worth It?

If you want the Angels' Share experience without the hefty price tag, Cocktail Intense is a solid option. It's perfect for evenings out, date nights, or cozying up in the colder months. It's a bit too sweet for daily office wear, in my opinion.

Notes & Nuances

Cocktail Intense opens with a boozy cognac blast, not quite as refined as Angels' Share. You definitely get cinnamon and a woody oak note right away. It's a little rougher around the edges, a touch more synthetic in the opening hour, but the inspiration is clear. The heart of tonka, praline, and hazelnut sweetens things up, creating a gourmand feel. As it dries down, vanilla and sandalwood emerge, giving it a warm, slightly powdery base. It mimics the overall vibe of Angels' Share pretty well, I'd say about 95% of the way there. The biggest difference is that initial boozy note is a little harsher and less naturally sweet than the OG.

Projection Power

This one surprised me. It lasts a solid 6-7 hours on my skin, projecting moderately for the first 2-3 hours before settling closer to the skin. It creates a nice scent bubble without being overpowering. On clothes, it sticks around even longer. Don't overspray this, or it can become cloying.
