The "Tobacco Vanilla" clone from the drugstore
Lou de Pre is one of the few drugstore brands that I pay any attention to at all.
The dupes from this brand are not always the best, but they clone fragrances that are otherwise hard to find in the drugstore.
This also applies to Amber Flame.
Without looking online to see what Amber Flame is supposed to clone, I immediately knew which dupe it was: It's a replica of Tobacco Vanille Eau de Parfum.
Although the fragrance is not identical, it is still close enough to the original that you can figure it out without thinking about it for too long.
The fragrance starts very sweet, heavy and spicy.
I immediately notice cinnamon and clove, I wasn't quite sure about the other spices.
Unfortunately, the fragrance is not of such high quality that you could really sniff out all the individual notes.
After a short time, I also notice tobacco, but it doesn't seem very high-quality either.
In addition, the tobacco note is not as prominent as in the original.
The fragrance hardly changes in DD.
It may be my imagination, but at this point I perceive honey.
The sweetness of the fragrance probably comes mostly from the honey, but also from the vanilla, which I also smell better in the DD.
The dried fruits unfold best towards the end.
They are actually dried rather than juicy, fresh fruit.
They tend to stay in the background and give the fragrance even more of that characteristic "tobacco vanilla" vibe.
It is a really good and inexpensive alternative to the original.
In conclusion, the performance is average to slightly above average.
Conclusion:
Personally, I don't need this fragrance as I have had my fill of this fragrance DNA.
However, if you can't get enough of it, you should definitely give it a try.
It is certainly available in almost every Müller store.
