Eyes Closed vs Angels' Share

Eyes Closed by Byredo is a polarizing fragrance that generates strong reactions from both admirers and detractors. While supporters praise its unique carrot cake and spicy composition, excellent performance, and compliment-generating qualities, detractors find the powdery, papery notes off-putting and compare it unfavorably to dated fragrances. Testing before purchase is strongly recommended.

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.
