Kismet Magic by Maison Alhambra for Men - 3.4 oz EDP Spray

This joint is one of my secret weapons. This is one of my favorite colognes in my collection. It is a compliment magnet with incredible longevity and projection. With opening notes of Cognac, this boozy, warm, and sweet opening is addictive. It's followed by cinnamon, tonka bean, and oak, making this fragrance a sweet and sexy scent. In the base, there is praline, vanilla, and sandalwood that transform this into a magical, manly, elegant, and soft scent profile ideal for date night and intimate situations. It is truly a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. A compliment getter that will make women fall in love with this scent. Great value for the money with a performance of 6+ hours on skin with 2+ hours of projection, lasting a long time on clothing. I should gatekeep this one, but I like to help others. This is a must-have in your collection. I highly recommend this one.

I recently got a new perfume: Maison Alhambra Kismet Magic, and my first impressions are nothing short of enchanting. The fragrance arrives in a sleek, black cardboard box with gold embossed lettering, exuding a sense of luxury. The bottle itself is a simple yet sophisticated round glass design, capped with a golden lid that feels substantial in hand. Maison Alhambra has put thought into making this perfume feel special even before the first spray. Kismet Magic is a warm, inviting oriental vanilla fragrance. The journey begins with a top note of cognac, delivering a rich, boozy sweetness that feels both indulgent and refined—like sipping a fine spirit by a crackling fire. As the fragrance settles, the heart reveals a beautifully balanced blend of cinnamon, tonka bean, and oak. The cinnamon adds a subtle spice that’s never overpowering, while the tonka bean brings a creamy, slightly nutty warmth. The oak note grounds the composition with a woody depth, giving it a sophisticated edge. The real magic happens in the base. The dry-down is a smooth, velvety mix of praline, vanilla, and sandalwood. The praline adds a touch of gourmand sweetness, reminiscent of a delicate dessert, while the vanilla is soft and comforting. The sandalwood ties it all together with a creamy, woody finish that lingers beautifully on the skin. It’s the kind of scent that feels like a warm hug but with an air of mystery and allure. While inspired by Kilian’s Angels’ Share, Kismet Magic captures a similar boozy, vanilla-rich DNA but stands on its own with a slightly lighter, more wearable feel. It’s not as dense as some gourmand fragrances, making it versatile enough for both day and night. I’ve worn it to a casual dinner and received compliments, but I can also see it being perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion. On my skin, it projects nicely for the first few hours and then settles into a pleasant, close-to-skin scent that lasts most of the day. It’s not a beast-mode fragrance, but for the price point, it’s more than respectable. Overall, Kismet Magic is a delightful surprise. It’s warm, inviting, and just the right amount of sweet without being cloying. If you’re a fan of boozy, vanilla-based fragrances with a touch of spice and wood, this is definitely worth trying.

Hear me out, this lost a star only because I had to be patient and wait for the tobacco note to dissipate before I could get down with it. Once that tobacco note made its exit I've been hooked.

I received my bottle of kismet Magic today. I put five or six squirts on and this is about 2 hours later and it's still projecting fairly well. It smells really good the only problem is it smells very similar to perfume I believe it's more of a woman saying than a man's. I like the smell of it I'm just not liking the feminine scent. I'm a man's man kind of guy I do construction work and where work boots daily so for me this is a little too feminine and sweet smelling. Although it smells very good I don't know how close to Angel share it is because I've never got a chance to test Angel share but if this is close to Angel share then I would say it's a little too feminine as well for me. I'm more of a Creed Adventist type guy. Before the price it smells amazing and if you really like that type of sweet smelling cologne / perfume then for the amount this is a great deal I definitely say go for it but if you're a rough neck hard working type of guy I would recommend going a different route. Ok ive been trying it and I have definitely change my mind. After wearing it a while I began to warm up to it it smells much like a boozy warm apple pie. That's not something I would wear to work but I put some on the other night and went and gave my girl a hug and she literally said she got chills and showed me the Goosebumps on her arm that I smell so good so I had to reconsider and now it has grown on me and become possibly my favorite or at least one of my favorites so I highly recommend it it's something that would be more and more on a date night or when you are wanting to be romantic or turn your girl on. So yes go for it my only complaint is is it doesn't project real heavy it's more of a lingering scent on you that lasts for hours but someone has to get close to you or give you a hug most of the time to spell it or maybe catch your wind as you pass by they might catch a small hint of it and I'm talking five six squirts minimum.

I've never tried the perfume "Angel's Share" before, but everyone claims this smells like it. I can only say that I am very happy with this perfume by Maison Alhambra, it smells so good! It reminds me very much of a Body Shop perfume that was discontinued long ago that smelled sort of "boozy" and with a tobacco and musk dark layer. It was such a lovely scent and I missed it. Maison Alhambra's "Kismet Magic" (which I think used to be called "Kismet Angel"), reminds me of that scent very much. It also lasts longer than most inexpensive perfumes I've tried, so I'm happy about that. The dry down of this perfume is almost serene after the initial intensity wears off. It has an apple pie, cinnamon, boozy, tobacco, female/masculine kind of duality that is really enchanting.

Incredible scent for the price. Big compliment getter. Guys your significant other will love this on you. It smells boozy and edible, makes anyone who smells it want to lean in closer for another whiff. Great bargain for the price. Also a good gift for women, but not too feminine for a man to wear.

I'll agree with most other reviewers in saying this smells amazing. It smells about 85-90% Kilians Angels Share. It is a warm, boozy, intoxicating scent that leaves you (and others) hungry for more. I have multiple dupes for Angels Share and this one just doesn't have the lasting power. I've timed when others are able to smell this on me (projection) and it's about 2 hours at max. After conducting multiple day experiments using differing amounts of application, you do need at least 10 sprays to make it past that 2 hour mark. I think you could drench yourself in this parfum and it still wouldn't last all day. My advice, spend a little (probably twice) and get a better quality dupe. My current favorite is from HKPerfumes and it lasts about 4-5 hours using 5 sprays, and it's only $20 more. There are multiple dupes for Angels Share and a quick Google search leading to Reddit will give you all the information needed to buy a quality dupe of that fragrance.

Nearly identical to Angels' Share both in the opening and dry down, has the boozy sweetness of the original which others are lacking in. The fragrance easily lasts all day and projects decently well, can still smell it on clothes the day after. Excellent fragrance at an amazing value.
