SOTD - Mugler - Pure Malt

They tell me, "West Indian Archie, Pure Malt is linear, it doesn't smell like whisky, and it's really just a bunch of hype because it's discontinued"

Me - "IDGAF"

I likes what I likes. And Pure Malt, I likes.

Who ever said that is a lie. That shyt was hyped from the jump.

I'm gonna start ramping up my usage of these decants. I gotta make room.

There's decants I've had for 3 years that I got a use up.

Based on this review, I'm not sold on this. 2mls top. 1ml spray if I can find one.

im starting to think all these flankers were just different formulations created at the same time. Its getting ridiculous now.

Haha. I'm not mad JPG for trying to cash in on a hit by making a flanker...

But damn, give me a real reason to buy it.

I bought the OG Elixir off the strength of the original, le parfum, and ultra male. And I'm happy to recommend them.

But they put out something that's a smidge different than the last one? FOH.

For anyone who wanna try the new Angel Share flanker

Kilian Angel's Share Paradis

raspberryCognacWoody notes

*Slides across desk like Ash from Gent Scents"

Scent Rush(?) - Copped the 2 ml of Paradis from these cats.
10 days from order to in my hands. (Kinda slow, but it also happened during the big winter storm of '25)

Angel's Share Paradis

Opening - The raspberry is fairly strong in this one, but not as much as Tuscan Leather or Tobacco Blaze.

Is there some booze in this?

As it dries down it definitely has that back of the cork in your whisky bottle type smell.

Comparisons

Paradis - is nothing like Angel's Share.

Cherry Oud - But you know what this really smells like to me? Guerlain's Cherry Oud (from Fragrant Body Oilz). (Shout out to Sauce Walka and @BronxBomber )

I don't like Cherry Oud though. Cherry is an inherently sweet fruit, but parts of the cherry experience are juicy/cherry are stripped out. If you've ever had one of them "tart" cherry juices - it's definitely cherry, but it's not sweet.

That's Cherry Oud. And I'm not a fan.

Cherry Oud? yeah, I know. But that's what I'm getting.

To bring it together

The raspberry in Paradis moves the whole scent a gourmet version of Nyquil that you get at Whole Foods.

Right now, it's on the edge of "I gotta scrub this off because I don't like it", versus "I gotta scrub this off because it's burning my eyes (Ombre Noir) or scrub it off because it's giving me a headache (Sauvage).

I might give this a 4 hour wear this weekend, but I'm glad I only got 2 mls of the stuff.
