when I wanted to describe my girlfriend's scent, I just couldn't think of anything because I was so stunned. So let's use that as the title now! Thank you for the suggestion my dear @Orangensorbe
I would like to start with a comparison.
Guidance Eau de Parfum The OG is much spicier than the dupes, it's also stronger and really noticeable, the longevity is outstanding. It would also be a shame not to notice the fragrance at this price point :) I don't go around in this upper price range, but I do like to try out bottlings to compare them with the dupes. Many have tried, but there is still no 1:1 dupe for this in my opinion, I understand that there is a note that all 4 have which is why you can say that they go in a common direction. This fragrance is one of the few where I can understand why people would pay the price. Really outstanding! The spicy OG.
Stellar Amber Oops, the test strip smells like nothing again, it needs to be sprayed again - that's where the problem lies. Short commercial break. Let's continue - I liked this fragrance so much that I really wanted to try the OG for the same reason. The Zara version is really nice, I very rarely buy backups, but I had to have one of these, with Zara you never know when they will be out of stock again. The consumption is very impressive anyway as the durability is horrible. A nice, clean, slightly different fragrance. The incense dupe.
Bayn Al Asrar I understand the intention that it should be a dupe again, but no thanks. More floral, less incense/osmanthus-heavy and with better longevity than the Stellar Amber. The floral dupe.
Now we finally come to the star
Musk pour Amber I love you - seriously.
It has that base again, which is why you can't help but think of the other 3 perfumes mentioned, yet it's different too, it's so perfect. It doesn't have the spiciness of the OG but goes in a sweet direction. It's bare skin, clean, sweet, floral, elegant, beautiful, my god, how can a description ever do it justice. This is what it must feel like when you've found your fragrance. I have told my girlfriend that this is the perfect scent for intimacy, I hope the description here in the review is ok and I don't get any flak. A male person was interviewed and he literally answered my question about how to describe the fragrance: As if bees were pollinating flowers- interesting :D
It starts with a pear and incense combination, which makes the pear wonderfully soft and creamy. Then this gives way to a hazelnut cream (we're not talking Nutella here) jasmine combination that really packs a punch. This lays itself on the clean musk bed on which little vanilla stars trickle and make the fragrance appear wonderfully sweet. Very special.
An update on durability and maseration will follow in a few weeks' time
