Close Up vs Angels' Share

Close Up by Olfactive Studio is praised as a beautiful, unique cherry fragrance that resonates with fragrance enthusiasts seeking distinctive scents. However, the community expresses concern about dramatic recent price increases and declining availability, with some retailers potentially discontinuing the brand.

Angels' Share is a well-composed niche fragrance with an impressive scent profile of apple pie, cognac, and spice that genuinely resonates with many in the community. However, it's severely hampered by unpredictable performance—some experience strong projection while others find it barely noticeable—and longevity issues that appear batch-dependent. Despite these concerns, it maintains solid community appreciation and recognition.
