Egyptian Angel
by Alexandria Fragrances
Egyptian Angel by Alexandria Fragrances is a woody, spiced fragrance centered around cedar, patchouli, and rum, with notes of dried fruits, vanilla, and nutmeg. It closely resembles By Kilian's Straight to Heaven but with a more linear, cedar-forward profile that some reviewers find overly dominant. The opening features a bright blend of wood, spice, and boozy sweetness, while the dry down reveals deeper layers of patchouli, vanilla, and dried fruit that add warmth and sweetness. Performance is variable: many note a faint projection and sillage, with the fragrance lingering moderately for several hours but rarely projecting far from the skin. Some users report excellent longevity after aging, while others find it fades quickly. The scent cues strong associations with a cigar humidor or wood processing facility for some, though others appreciate it as a sophisticated, masculine-leaning option with broad appeal.

- +Strong resemblance to Straight to Heaven, making it an accessible alternative for fans of that fragrance

Cons
- −Fragrance performance is highly inconsistent—many find it weak in projection and lasting power
- −Overwhelming cedar presence may feel monotonous to those not fond of wood-forward scents
- −Some users perceive no vanilla or fruit notes despite the listed accords, making it feel sparse or unbalanced
