Cognac Blaze

Notes & Nuances

Cognac Blaze comes out swinging with a boozy cinnamon punch, definitely reminiscent of Angels' Share. You get that apple pie cognac vibe pretty quickly. I'd say it's about 85% similar in the opening. The heart is where it deviates a bit. It's heavier on the praline and hazelnut, making it a touch sweeter and less nuanced than Kilian's. The dry down is a warm vanilla sandalwood, with a benzoin adding some resinous depth, like the original. There's a slightly synthetic edge in the opening, especially if you put your nose right up to it, but it fades fast.

How Long Does it Last?

the performance is surprisingly solid. I get a good 6-7 hours on skin, with moderate projection for the first couple of hours. It creates a nice scent bubble without being overpowering. On clothes, it easily lasts all day.

Final Thoughts

It's a fantastic daily driver for the colder months. Perfect for cozy nights in, holiday gatherings, or just wanting to smell sophisticated without breaking the bank. Cognac Blaze offers incredible value for money and captures the essence of Angels' Share exceptionally well. Get it while you can.
