It really smells like a kind of rotten, bitter, juicy apple pie in the best way. At first it smell very much like alcohol, but it’s like you need to get that out and need to let it oxidize. I waited around a week and it became beautiful. In the start it’s very spicy, and you will smell that alcoholic throughout the whole experience. The sweet notes are not that predominant. Two sprays was enough to fill the whole apartment in my case… when I spraid it, the excess landed on my he floor, and that smelled absolutely delicious.

I bought a sample pack right before Canada Post went on strike. Once service resumed, I kept waiting for it to come but it didn't. I reached out to Alex and got an almost immediate response. When the parcel still didn't show up, he was super helpful and immediately sent me a replacement. This level of customer service is rare and needs to be celebrated. Everything was also beautifully packaged and professionally labelled.

(Re: the actual perfume, I quite like Khamra, although still prefer Qahwa...the rest of the samples I chose were not at all my jam, but that's not Alex's fault 😁)

Fast shipping, secure packaging, high quality sample

Personally, I've never smelled Angel's Share which a lot of people compare this to, so my review of this is very standalone. I adore this sample, it's sweet and spicy and initially boozy. If you spray it on clothes it's basically eternal which I'm perfectly fine with. Over time, I began to smell less of that boozy scent and more sweet and spicy which is exactly what I was seeking in a fragrance.

Nice fragrance but not what I was expecting. Nothing close to Angel Share, not "beast mode" like some claim either just a nice gourmand scent but very mellow to me.
