Another one that I have been a good dent in. I really wish the OG wasn't so pricey, but maybe a split in the near future.

Here is a fragrance that my opinion has changed over time. First time I hated it, was. 2/10. The next sampling it somewhat grew on me so much so it reached a 6/10. And now I'm a responsible owner of a full bottle. Yes it wears well, despite claims that it's a dupe of Althair it most certainly is not. For me this is more a Gourmand that adds its own creamy, lactonic twist that leans into the "crème brûlée" dessert theme. Brûlée is a complex, sugary, and airy fragrance that moves from a citrusy opening to a dense, edible heart. The opening is a burst of burnt sugar and caramel tempered by the zest of bergamot and a hint of spicy cardamom. As it settles, the "lactonic" (milky) quality emerges, making it smell like a luxury pastry shop. The chocolate and milk notes create a smooth, velvety texture, while the incense in the heart prevents it from becoming "juvenile" sweet, adding a layer of sophisticated mystery. The dry down of Brûlée by Ahmed Al Maghribi is where the fragrance transforms from a loud, sugary dessert into a sophisticated, velvety "second skin." This is achieved with a combo of White Musk, Ambroxan, Tonka Bean and Woods. Because of the heavy concentration of Tonka Bean and Ambroxan, the base notes are strong enough to survive a workout or a long night out, often still smelling fresh on clothes the next morning. This stuff will easily get you 6+hrs on skin, it will hold on to your clothes for even longer, just be carefully, it is an extrait, which contains a higher % of oils which I've noticed can leave a film on the skin so might not be safe for say your good white shirt? It projects outward significantly before settling into a dense scent bubble.If you enjoy scents like Bianco Latte or Althaïr, this will be right up your alley. My Rating: 7/10 Scent: 2 Longevity: 2 Sillage:2 Y/N: 1
