About this deal
Turns out, they had guests over during the weekend, so his mother decided to use her perfume (BR) again, so when she hugged him the scent lingered on him so long and strong, I was sure it was the Burberry. Discovering that its new-found fame came courtesy of TikTok, an app that is considered one of the best ways to discover affordable beauty dupes, stunned me. There are so many other dupes I'd rather get - Club de nuit untold, orientica amber rouge are what I have in my collection and are dead ringers for the scent profile if I so ever craved the br540 vibe.
It opens extremely medicinal, but that fades quickly into a sweet spun-sugar-in-a-forest type scent.
I got a small decant of this just to say I had it and it’s fine, but I won’t be reaching for it often. When I started getting into fragrances there were two that everyone had a dupe version of - creed aventus and BR540. Most of the time I have this on, I smell that mix of amber and ambroxan, which is a little creamy, a little clean-smelling, a little sweet, and a little tart. I have found spraying it slightly lower down (chest area, avoiding the neck) works best for me and with just 2 sprays I am getting lovely wafts all day.
All dupes have that screechy annoying gas smell to it, they're not refined and suave and a good nose knows you're wearing a dupe which is absolutely fine as long as you don't try to pass it off as Baccarat. Citrus top notes are dominated by the sweetly juicy blood orange, the juice of which is evoked in the name of the fragrance. v=1576249390","width":1154},{"alt":null,"id":6028052791382,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.It has a sweet sophisticated appeal that has unisex qualities for an alluring man or a woman commanding attention because the fragrance when worn in moderation will turn heads and make olfactory’s fall in love. I feel the scent leans more masculine than the reviews here state, but that Amy just be down to the woody tones. Its an odd scent profile because its hard to detect at times and other times you get whiffs of it and it lasts for days.
It is underlined by a strange oceanic vibe and the image hammering my brain is of a sugar glass isomalt sculpture that someone dropped into a fish tank. There is a soft woodiness, particularly during the later stages, melding well with the musky amber notes.
I wore it to a bar a couple of months back and I got several unsolicited compliments on my way to the restroom from men and women. It was such a strong and distinctive smell that all their family carried around on their clothes and bodies - I have often tried to find a scent that carries that smell.
