4.85 from 20 reviews of Spellbound, quoted below · 4.8 across all God of Essence perfumes
In the order you meet them: a bright pour of cognac and orange, a warm heart of cinnamon and praline, then vanilla and toasted wood that stay. Tap any note to put it under the spotlight. You’ll pour all six in the game below.
Bright, boozy and a little fruity. Warm grape brandy and oak, the first thing you smell.
Did you knowCognac must age at least two years in French oak. About 3% of it slips out through the wood each year. Cellar masters call that the angels’ share.
Zesty, with a bitter edge. More marmalade peel than sweet juice. It keeps the cognac bright.
Did you knowOne bitter orange tree gives perfumers three oils: bitter orange from the peel, neroli from the blossom, and petitgrain from the leaves and twigs.
Warm, sweet and woody. The spice that makes the cognac glow.
Did you knowCinnamon’s main scent molecule is cinnamal. IFRA limits how much of it a perfume can hold, because too much can cause skin allergies.
Caramelised sugar and toasted nuts. The dessert note, kept soft.
Did you knowPraline takes its name from Marshal du Plessis-Praslin, a 17th-century French nobleman. His cook is said to have made the first one: nuts set in caramelised sugar.
Creamy and round. It keeps the sweetness warm rather than sugary.
Did you knowA fresh green vanilla pod barely smells of vanilla. The scent appears during curing, as the pods are sweated, dried and rested for months.
Dry, warm wood. Like the inside of a cognac cask, it holds everything close for hours.
Did you knowWhen coopers toast an oak barrel, the heat turns part of the wood into vanillin. That’s why aged spirits smell of vanilla and caramel.
Perfumers build a scent from the base up. Pour Spellbound the same way: six notes, six lines on the glass. Hold to pour and let go on the line. A little more always follows, so stop just before it.
Six notes, from the base up.
Hold the button or the glass to pour. Let go just before the line.
Hold the button (or Space) to pour each note up to its line. Woods first, cognac last. If you spill over the line, the angels take the extra.

Drag through the evening and watch Spellbound change, from the first bright pour to the vanilla your collar still holds the next morning.
Cognac and bitter orange, bright and boozy. One reviewer’s one-word title for it: “Citrusy”.
CognacBitter orangeCinnamon warms the cognac. As one reviewer puts it, “it starts with cognac, which change to cinnamon”.
CinnamonCognacCaramelised praline rounds it out. Sweet, but never sugary.
PralineCinnamonVanilla and toasted woods take over, warm and close. In our wear tests it lasts 8–9 hrs on skin.
VanillaToasted woodsYour collar or scarf holds it longest. Pick it up the next morning and the vanilla and woods are still there.
On fabric: 14–18 hrsTimings are typical. Your skin, the weather and how many sprays you use will all change them.
Scored out of 10, then how Spellbound feels in a room, and what 40–45% oil means next to the labels you already know.
Bitter orange lifts the opening. One reviewer calls it “citrusy”, another a “nice summer fragrance”. Still, this is a warm scent.
Praline and vanilla make it sweet, while cognac and toasted woods keep it from tasting like dessert.
Reviews differ. Four mention compliments; one finds it mild. A spray on fabric helps it carry.
Cognac, cinnamon, vanilla and toasted woods keep it glowing into the evening.
Six notes in three acts. One reviewer notes how “it starts with cognac, which change to cinnamon”.
Our read of the scent, not lab data. Intensity is scored on how far it carries in the first hours.
Warm and noticeable for the first hours, then close to the skin. Reviews differ: four mention compliments, and one finds it mild. For more reach, add a spray to your collar or scarf.
More oil means more scent left behind once the alcohol dries, which shows most on fabric. It also means fewer sprays. Ranges come from the standard perfume concentration guide. More in why oil concentration matters.
Spellbound sits in the boozy gourmand family that Kilian’s Angels’ Share made famous. On the published note lists they share cognac, cinnamon, praline and vanilla. Ours adds bitter orange on top and rests on toasted woods, where Angels’ Share uses oak, tonka and sandalwood. Lattafa Khamrah is the sweeter cousin, with dates and praline. It’s our own formula, not a copy, so smell them side by side and trust your nose.

Great Product!
“I purchased 3 perfumes recently, this being one of them. Of the 3, this one was my favourite! Since I ordered during the Diwali time, I also got 2 samples for free. My only minor complaint is that of the 2 samples, one of them was for a fragrance I had already ordered. So, I would have preferred if both samples were something different so I can try something else next time! I will definitely be reordering this when the time comes”
Best purchase ever

A boozy gourmand loves the evening, but a light touch works at the office too. Pick the occasion and the weather, and we’ll tell you how much and where.
2–3sprays
Where: neck and wrists, plus one on your chest.
What to expect: bright cognac and orange first, then warm praline and vanilla up close.
AC rooms keep it rich and close. No change needed.
Rubbing your wrists crushes the top notes and dulls the cognac. Spray, let it dry, and go.
Fabric holds it longest, 14–18 hrs in our tests. One spray on your collar or scarf from arm’s length. Test a hidden spot first, and skip silk.
Dry skin lets scent fade faster. An unscented lotion first helps it hold. More in how to make perfume last longer.
One reviewer pairs it with Elegant Euphoria for a brighter, fruitier spell. Our layering guide has more pairings.
In Cognac, the spirit rests in oak for years. Each year a little of it slips through the wood and drifts away. Cellar masters call it the angels’ share. Near the old cellars, a black fungus even grows on the walls, feeding on the vapour.
Spellbound bottles that cellar. Cognac and bitter orange open it, cinnamon and praline warm the heart, and vanilla and toasted woods hold it close for hours. Boozy first, sweet at heart, warm all evening.
“It stands true to the name. The fragrance and the notes spellbound me.”A S, a verified buyer
From 7 August to 19 October 2026, Spellbound went into one in five of our full-bottle orders. The scent people most often bought with it was King of Blues: one warm, one fresh, for night and day.

Like warm cognac with a twist of bitter orange, then cinnamon and praline, settling into vanilla and toasted woods. It's an amber gourmand: boozy, sweet and warm, but not sugary. Reviewers call it warm, rich, sweet and long lasting.
It's in the same boozy gourmand family. On the published note lists they share cognac, cinnamon, praline and vanilla. Spellbound adds bitter orange on top and rests on toasted woods, where Angels' Share uses oak, tonka and sandalwood. It's our own formula at 40–45% oil, not a copy. More in our guide to luxury perfume alternatives.
They're cousins. Both mix cinnamon, praline and vanilla. Khamrah adds dates, tuberose and myrrh and feels sweeter and fuller. Spellbound is drier, with cognac and bitter orange on top and toasted woods at the base. More in the best Arabic perfumes in India.
No. Estée Lauder's Spellbound is a different perfume, a floral oriental from 1991. God of Essence Spellbound is a cognac-and-praline extrait de parfum, blended in India.
In our wear tests it lasts 8–9 hrs on skinand 14–18 hrs on fabric. Ten of the 19 reviews quoted on this page say it lasts long. One reviewer finds the scent mild, so add a spray to your collar if you want more trail.
Both. It's unisex. One reviewer gifted it to their partner and says she gets "a ton of compliments". Another says colleagues asked what they were wearing.
It's at its best on cool evenings and in AC rooms, where cognac and praline feel rich. One reviewer still calls it a "nice summer fragrance". In heat, use one spray less and put one on fabric.
Yes, with a light hand. One or two sprays on your wrists or chest keeps it warm and close in a meeting room.
Warm-sweet. Praline and vanilla bring the sweetness, while cognac, bitter orange and toasted woods keep it from tasting like dessert. Two reviewers call it sweet.
One or two for the office, two or three for dinner or a date, and three or four for a party or wedding.
The fragrance oils are sourced from Switzerland, with Indian cinnamon, and the perfume is blended in India.
It means 40–45% of what's in the bottle is fragrance oil. The rest is the alcohol that sprays it. An eau de parfum usually holds 15 to 20% oil, and an eau de toilette 5 to 15%. More oil leaves more scent behind once the alcohol dries, so you need fewer sprays. It follows the IFRA Standards, the global safety rules for fragrance ingredients.
Yes. Add it to the Discovery Set: pick 5 scents in 10 ml vials, from ₹1,299. Build your Discovery Set.
Orders ship within 24 hours. Metro cities usually get it in 2 to 3 days, and other cities in 3 to 5 days. Shipping is free above ₹999. Sealed, unopened bottles can be returned within 7 days of delivery, and if a bottle arrives damaged, we replace it. Email hello@godofessence.com to start.
