SOTD : Enigma

Will do! I have the real Lost Cherry and I’m familiar with most of the other source fragrances.

BDK uses different shipping for their full bottles than they do for their samples
took 3 days for the full bottle of tabac rose to arrive
took almost a month for the samples

These clone makers getting more creative with the day. They even cloning the bottles these days

imo the Khamrah Lattafa isn’t really a dupe they just kind of stole the bottle design. There’s a level of inspiration but I’ve actually smelled it in person and it’s very distinct
the fake “barakkat” in the middle though

Is the Khamrah good? People seem to love it but yeah seems more inspired than an actual clone

If you’re into gourmand scents (I’m not personally) then it’s enjoyable. It’s less of a boozy scent as it exchanges the cognac inspiration from angel’s share for more Arabic inspired notes, things like dates and honey, cinnamon and nutmeg, and a much stronger vanilla and amber. I’ve heard someone describe it as sweetened fermented dates and I think that’s accurate. For it’s price tag the performance and spillage are very good. Personally though I don’t like super sweet scents like that. I think for most people there’s no reason to get instead of angel’s share or similar if you already have that even if it’s distinct because it’s in the same category regardless

Thanks fam
I’ll probably get a sample in the future to try it out. Love sweet scents personally and date note sounds interesting

BDK samples came in finally

Didn't expect the bottle be THIS small lmao. Saved me from spending €110 on the 30ml though

Thots?

Next frags on my list:

-Amyris Extrait if I end up finding a 5ml bottle or if they release it in 35ml
-Fragrance Du Bois Santal Complet (beautiful tropical coconut, sandalwood & vanilla)
-Maison Crivelli Iris Malikhân (buttery iris, leather & vanilla)

that is comically small. how are you enjoying it though?

Its amazing imo. Its fresh & fruity but also has this cold mineral thing going on along with some slight leathery undertone and woodiness. Its meant to smell like fresh air on another planet I think and they capture that feeling very well. Def not for everyone though but I also dont think many people will be offended when its projecting around you. Performance is incredible aswell. 2-3 sprays from a small sample atomizer lasts and projects all day

The ones I liked were Pas Ce Soir
Gris Charnel normal edp
Citrus Riviera
and Rouge Smoking ofc
Others were kinda stinky imo
Pretty underwhelming for a 4 week wait 😅
Idk what the others were named but if you want to know more I can describe a bit more

MAJOR KEY

extrait gonna last a solid 3 mins dont do it

did you get tabac rose?

No unfortunately not, was kinda bummed after I saw your post a few days back 😅

was definitely the best one i tried there, felt let down by the rest w only like one or two exceptions def not worth the month wait for another sample box though
