Liquid Brun is one of those fragrances I reach for without thinking. The cinnamon, vanilla, ambroxan. So freaking good. After wearing this, I honestly don't feel the need to buy Althaïr at what, like over $300. Naw. Liquid Brun is that good. At the price, don't think, just buy. Hell I'd pay $100 for this.

Анонім★★★★★

This was the fragrance that got me into the dupes. It's a great long lasting sweet fragrance for cold weathers and super identical to Althair. I also have Historic Sahara and Vanilla Dunes. But I still think Liquid Brun is the closest and strongest.

Анонім★★★★★

Finally tested this. On my skin this is an overly musky, smoky vanilla with tiny facets of the spices listed here. Some sweetness, and a woody backbone alongside them. Sorry, but this totally feels like a re-balanced Mercedes Club Black (I've had it). It's like the same recipe, almost the same ingredients - but in different ratios 🫪 This is slightly more masculine than Club Black, but still unisex at best. Feels very ordinary and common somehow. If this is truly 1:1 to the original, paying PdM price for this scent IS SUCH A RIP OFF !

Анонім★★★★★

This is indistinguishable from the original. I think the OG is slightly more smoother but Liquid Brun is definitely like 1:1. Even compared to the OG in a tester. Such bangers both. But Liquid Brun is fantastic. 10/10

Анонім★★★★★

1:1 of Althaïr, lasts all day , incredibly strong so 2-4 sprays is more than enough , smells incredible and so worth the money.

Анонім★★★★★

I have both Althair and Liquid Brun and I can barely smell the difference. I can say Althair is a little bit more smooth. But overall, its the same perfume and Liquid Brun is insanely good for the price

Анонім★★★★★

Can't stand this fragrance. Did not like it at all, the ambroxan ruined it for me and gave me a headache.

Анонім★★★★★

Smells like Althair. I also have Vanilla Romance from BBW. This smells like Vanila Romance with the cardamom opening. I will be layer the Vanilla Romance body cream with Brun and top it off with Althair for a delicious scent bubble.

Анонім★★★★★

it smells like expensive mouthwash that would be marketed to finance bros and golfers

Анонім★★★★★

The fact that people say it isn't beast mode is crazy. That ambroxan pushes off the fragrance so much so that my family could smell me from the floor below. It can be headache inducing if oversprayed and not suitable for summer days, but any other season and night time events are perfect for this fragrance, especially in an intimate setting.

Анонім★★★★★

Vanilla, reminds of PDM Altahir. Heavy Gourmand. Evening formal, cold weather, creamy lane. 4 stars, long lasting with heavy projection. It is worth every dollar. I don;t feel the difference to Altahir - 99% close.

Анонім★★★★★

I had heard online that this was the best dupe of PDM althaïr, and that is was one to one ect. I didn't appreciate how true this is until I smelled the og and honestly they are the exact same. For £30 it is an absolute bargain of a fragrance, while still being a beutiful warm bakery sent that's perfect for the cold. The initial spray is a tad harsh, but this dissappears quickly to leave the same scent as the og PDM.

Анонім★★★★★

Bit of cinnamon and spice off the rip and a lot of vanilla and praline in the dry-down. It’s sweet, a touch spicy, and very vanilla heavy. Pretty damn close to PDM althaïr. For $26, it’s really a no-brainer for the money conscious fragrance enjoyer. Only drawback is the slight alcohol scented opening present in a lot of dupes/French Avenue products. Subjective Score: 9.0/10

Анонім★★★★★

Very sexy. Smells way more expensive than it is.

Анонім★★★★★

Heavy on the Cardamom, Vanilla with a little bit of Cinammon and Woodiness peaking through. I've owned this and Khadlaj Sand Dunes and can say this one is superior in performance and strength. Score: 3.5/5

Анонім★★★★★

really truly is almost a 1:1 to althair. preforms amazingly lasts long and projects well. i was honestly very nervous when i first got it. i thought it didn’t smell good at all and the preformance lasted about 10 seconds. after about 2 months that all completely changed. even now it changed a little more away from just being sweet, those darker notes are now coming through. a great wear for winter, fall or cold weather situation. have gotten many compliments off this

Анонім★★★★★

Wow!!! Spot on to PFM Althair. I love this scent. Lasts long on skin and has great sillage. This was an excellent price as well. Very impressed.

Анонім★★★★★

I usually hate ambroxan and was sure that ill hate this one because of that, but I didn’t feel it at all. A very very interesting perfume with a unique scent. I never tried Altair (mainly cause its hard to find for just spraying), but if this is anything like that then its amazing. Definitely a must own in your collection

Анонім★★★★★

Gives me a headache , way too sweet for me. Smells ok but has no orange compared to the original. Lasts forever

Анонім★★★★★

Scent profile is great, pure vanilla with orange blossom. Identical to the original, the only problem I have is that on my skin it doesn't perform that well.

Анонім★★★★★

Liquid brun is intresting truly intresting,at the beginning you feel some sort of stinky nearly sour smell in the background but soon after then you can feel that it truly is wonderful and warming,so also cozy,you will be able to smell vanilla,peppers,praline and if you think about the orange blooms then it truly reveals itself! Truly wonderful for the money also.

Althair kadar kaliteli olmasada inanılmaz benziyor fiyatının gerçekten hakkını veriyor ayrıca gayet performanslı Kalıcılık 10/6 Yayılım 10/7 10/7

This is a nice, inoffensive clone of Althair. It is pretty accurate but it goes without saying you need to like Althair to like this one. I personally find it pleasant but a little bit too sweet. The cinnamon and creamy vanillin in it are nice. I think that is the rub isnt it? It is nice. Do we want "nice"? Is a sweet, slightly gourmand spiced vanilla latte sort of fragrance actually something we want to wear or do we wear it because of highly hyped Althair is? Is it actually an insta fragrance that everyone likes because it has no sharp edges and is just easy? That you tell yourself you love because everyone else says they do too? Is this a case of the Starbucks effect? It is everywhere, easy to drink and designed from top to bottom to be totally inoffensive, reassuringly expensive to infer quality and so on, but when was the last time you had a cup of coffee you really, truly enjoyed from there? Is its quality not in its taste but its accessibility, consistency and ubiquitousness? So that is why Althair/Liquid Brun reminds me of a Starbucks vanilla spice latte. I bought it to try it out nine months ago, it is fully maturated and I've still never worn it. I don't dislike it. I actually think it is quite a nice choice for the office. I get why lots of people enjoy it. But I have almost 150 fragrances in my collection and I struggle to see myself reaching for it as over-sweet cinnamon and vanilla spiced latte vibes aren't really my thing. I'm much more of a double espresso, no sugar, Ombre Nomade, caffeine, nicotine and hatred kind of dude. I am not really the guy Althair and Liquid Brun is aimed at. And that is okay.

Everyone talked about this already so: Yes, it’s one of the best vanilla fragrances to exist IMO. Listen to me, you NEED to macerate this. Out of the box it smells slightly harsh and has no depth whatsoever. The difference between my friend’s 7 months old bottle and my newer one is absurd. I feel bad to those who tried this once then instantly got rid of it. But I can’t really blame them, I would’ve returned it had I not known it develops to a Heavenly fragrance.

Анонім★★★★★

Do not over spray or use on hot days ..... Strong Projection: &;Sillage

Анонім★★★★★

Selling my bottle just because my skin amplifies the ambroxan note (sprayed 7 times, and it has matured already for several months). Maybe others will enjoy it more. DM me if you're interested. I live in Germany.

Beautiful fragrance with all the notes I love, but I don't get the projection some claim. For me, it seems a bit weak.

Анонім★★★★★

Late too the party but this smells so addicting,what an awesome vanilla profile! I see no reason to buy any designer fall/winter fragrance when a dupe like this exists! Pdm did a great job with Althair but let's be honest it's a really expensive fragrance and to be able to get the same experience for that cheap and this quality is industry changing!I can't see how I am not gonna repurchase this over and over again

Анонім★★★★★

Caution! This is the literal scent of poverty.
