Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Kismet Magic Eau de Parfum
If you're after a boozy apple pie in a bottle, Kismet Magic absolutely delivers; it's a stellar dupe, often outperforming its pricier inspiration and beloved for its festive, cozy vibe. However, be warned: that initial cognac blast can be a bit much for some, and a few find it a touch synthetic.
