Great video. I’ve seen so many reviews on this fragrance and I think after watching your video you may have just convinced me to blind buy Side Effect! I hope I don’t regret it...
They’re not the same though. Angels share is a cinnamon role with cognac dessert. Side Effect is more like a sweet candied vanilla rum … it’s like a sweet tart candy
I have both. I actually think Angel Share is a better scent, but I wear side effect more because for some reason I just find it matches and fits me more. Im weird thst way 😅. Same with carlisle and naxos, i think naxos is the classier and better scent but I wear carlisle a lot more and find myself smelling myself all day whenever i wear it
I have side effect. Maybe it's just be, but I just don't smell it like I thought I would. I heard people were wowed. I'm not saying it's bad. It just seems like it doesn't grab attention.
Overspray a bit. It will grab everyone’s attention. I’m going to a gala at the end of the month, and I plan to wear SE. ❤️ But all our noses are different.
I had and loved side effect, gifted it to my sister who was crazy about it. Anyhow, got a sample of angels share from Sephora the other day and the 1st thing that came to my mind when I smelled it was SE, but more intoxicatingly yummy somehow. I have to get a full bottle, Kilian wins this battle in opinion 😍😍😍😍
I'm so glad you said these are similar. I was at Neiman Marcus last week to try Side Effect. On first sniff, it reminded me of Angel Share, one I own, and the perfume representatives were looking at me like I was crazy when I stated the similarities. Thanks to validating my "scentalation". Lol
Some of the people who work at Neiman Marcus so full of BS. They will lie and insult you to try and guilt you into buying something.. they do it all of the time. Nordstrom is a [much] more pleasant experience for testing fragrances.
Bit late to the party but id like to make a recommendation. Try layering these two fragrances together. Angels share first. Wait bout 5-10 min and layer on side Effect. Youre welcome.
I wonder if side effect has been reformulated? I have a 5ml of side effect and full bottle of angels share, and the side effect I have is way more beast mode than than angels share. I wanted to get side effect but if the performance was nerfed and now performs worse than AS, I might reconsider. For me side effect is a going out fragrance, and that had ti do with its performance. But perhaps that isn’t the case anymore?
Side Effect is very long lasting! I wore it last night! 💚 I love both fragrances. I’m not sure if it has been reformulated. I bought my bottle in 2020. I think.
@@EssentiallyJessi thanks for your response. That’s was my experience with side effect too. I may have misunderstood the video saying it wasn’t long lasting, because the 5ml I have is long lasting and has nice projection. It’s a bit of coin so I want it to perform like the decent I have. But the scent is amazing. Thanks again
Thank you for the huge effort and time you put on your videos, i’ve read some reviews on Fragrantica for Side Effect, i noticed there’re many people say that it has a top medicinal note like when you visit a doctor’s clinic and it feels synthetic … is that really true or somehow true ?
@@EssentiallyJessi i’ve got the full bottle, it smells great but the performance is not excellent, 5 hours of longevity and 1-2 hours of projection, i don’t know why.
@@muradjam I sprayed a sample spray of Side Effect on my wrist at about 5Pm it projected off my wrist the whole night. Took a shower the next morning and I can still get very faint whiffs of it on my skin. It's definitely a beast mode fragrance for some.
Angels share smells very similar to the original apple Brandy. Apple Brandy doesn't smell the same as it used it. It's like a completely different fragrance.
@@EssentiallyJessino I definitely agree with you mam. Both are in the boozy fragrance category. I feel like Tony Iommi vs Angel share vs Oajan vs side effect would be a good video.
That's crazy you compared this to angel's share. I thought based on the notes it would be closer to black phantom. I have angel's share and it is very intoxicating. However, I don't want scents in my collection that smell similar. Going to neimans tomorrow to see even though I ordered a sample this weekend I'm impatient! 🤣🤣🤣
@@EssentiallyJessi so I went to neimans yesterday and this smells nothing like angel's share. I was flabbergasted you put them in the same ballpark. However, I know everyone's nose and skin chemistry is different lol. I really liked side effect and ordered it online. Can't wait to get it!
I like Angel's Share but I dont love it. I wasn't that impressed with the opening. It takes a while into the dry down for me to appreciate it for what it is.
I agree with u, I smelled side effects and am like this is not worth the price tag. When I blind bought Angels share 🤦🏾♀️ it was not worth the hype, it’s an OK fragrances.
I think side effect is amazing. I have a sample of it and it‘s definitely on my wishlist.
Delicious
I have both and 100% can say, that Initio Side Effect is the best one! Love it! Absolutely amazing 🤩
Love them both 💗
Yeah I have both, 1.7 Oz Angels Share and a 76% bottle of Side Effect. Love both
YES!!! the review ive been searching for!
Thank you so much 😊
Side Effect has so many positive effects on me.🤩
Yes!!! 💚
Great video. I’ve seen so many reviews on this fragrance and I think after watching your video you may have just convinced me to blind buy Side Effect! I hope I don’t regret it...
Side Effect is amazing!
Did u buy it?
They’re not the same though. Angels share is a cinnamon role with cognac dessert.
Side Effect is more like a sweet candied vanilla rum … it’s like a sweet tart candy
I just felt like they were going in the same direction. 😉
@Jen Chin OFG may be more of an acquired taste. Try to sample them both.
Love the fact that Angel's Share is designed to look like whisky in a glass. ...a pretty hefty measure of whisky at that. 😄
Yes❣️ It’s gorgeous!
Hi Jessi. I’ve been thinking of trying Side Effect. I absolutely love Angel Share. This was a great review. I may try a travel size of Side Effect.
They are both amazing 🤩

@@EssentiallyJessi Thankyou very much. Does it get good reactions for you?
@@proudgary2228 Yes! People love it. 💕
TOTALLY 100% Angel's Share WIN!!!
It’s so good!
Side Effect!!
It’s so good 😍

Nice. I’m so glad you like AS! 🥃
I have a sample of Side effect and a full bottle of Angels share, Killian wins for me 😊sweet boozy gourmand.
It is nice! Glad you are enjoying it!
Good battle
Thank you!

Definitely pick Side Effect 🥰

I got Side Effect decant. Still didn't test it on my skin only on paper. Very strong and sweet , I am waiting for the special occation to test it :)
It’s amazing! Wear it!
@@EssentiallyJessi My goodness :D
I was thinking about buying Angel's Share. After watching you, I don't know what to do.
They are both amazing!
i dislike side effects dry down but the opening is out of the world. the dry down would probably be a lot of peoples favorite tho but not mine
We all like different things 💚
Thank you for the huge effort and time you put on your videos, i’ve read some reviews on Fragrantica for Side Effect, i noticed there’re many people say that it has a top medicinal note like when you visit a doctor’s clinic and it feels synthetic … is that really true or somehow true ?
I don’t get that. But the initial spray only lasts a couple of minutes and then it drives down well.
@@EssentiallyJessi i’ve got the full bottle, it smells great but the performance is not excellent, 5 hours of longevity and 1-2 hours of projection, i don’t know why.
@@muradjam hmmm 🤔 I guess it’s different fir everyone
@@muradjam I sprayed a sample spray of Side Effect on my wrist at about 5Pm it projected off my wrist the whole night. Took a shower the next morning and I can still get very faint whiffs of it on my skin. It's definitely a beast mode fragrance for some.
Side Effect for me. To me Angels share smell just like Oajan by PDM
They are similar for sure!!
Angels share smells very similar to the original apple Brandy. Apple Brandy doesn't smell the same as it used it. It's like a completely different fragrance.
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know. 💚
I own both and the smell absolutely nothin alike
I feel like they’re both boozy and kind of lean in the same direction, but you’re right. They are totally different fragrances.
@@EssentiallyJessino I definitely agree with you mam. Both are in the boozy fragrance category. I feel like Tony Iommi vs Angel share vs Oajan vs side effect would be a good video.
@ Great idea!
❤ Angel Share ❤
Yes! I wore it last week.
Funny, got a sample of side effect and after sampling it the first thing that came to my mind was also angels share😁
Yes! Glad you agree. They just have a similar feel!
huge side effect fan! you have been banned from wearing SE now. go ahead and ship me your bottle please.
It’s a great fragrance ❤️
1+++

@@MiyamiSky Glad you picked up Side Effect. They are both boozy fragrances IMHO. 💕 I love them both!!!
@@MiyamiSky samantha do you think a mans man could wear this?
@@MrAlistar99 which one? Both are unisex
Th new side effect formulation is kinda iffy. I wish they'd at least lower the price for selling a nerfed and less powerful version of side effect.
Hmm..I had no idea they changed it. I hate it when they do that.
All the men the comments like SE better.
❤️💕❤️
Yep
SE is definitely better lol😊
I like Angel's Share but I dont love it. I wasn't that impressed with the opening. It takes a while into the dry down for me to appreciate it for what it is.
The tobacco in side effect comes across more as a dried fruit to me.
I can totally see that!
Kilian wins
I really love them both!
Angels share is just better with better taste. Killian has better taste than pdm and initio. My personal opinion.
You're not supposed to drink it. 😁
Neither of these is worth their price tag. They smell nice but... too expensive for what they offer, in my opinion.
I agree with u, I smelled side effects and am like this is not worth the price tag. When I blind bought Angels share 🤦🏾♀️ it was not worth the hype, it’s an OK fragrances.
@@jestinas.2470 Angel's share was the perfume that snapped me out of the TH-cam blind buy hype. I was like... nah I'm going to wait.
@@OpinionatedScents same 😩🥺
I love them both, but I love boozy vanillas. What are your favorites?
@@OpinionatedScents I’ve bought a few like that for sure 🤦♀️
I like Angels share more too🫠
But i cant life without Side Effect too.Absolut Aphrodisiac/ Initio is awsome Vanilla Fragrance too
@@simonhunkeler7335 love all of those! 💗
