The holy grail of vanilla pudding DNA!
Althair is an insanely good fragrance! It has been at the top of the fragrance charts for many months and rightly so!
The vanilla, caressed by fruity orange blossom and all kinds of delicious spices, creates this vanilla pudding DNA that nobody can resist.
There are always compliments for Althair. Whether in the supermarket or in the club. The mixture of seduction and familiarity makes this fragrance DNA so unique and special.
So much for the original -

But dupes are of course not long in coming with such a board. There are now many on this topic.
The most popular of the Althair dupes is certainly Liquid Bruin from French Avenue.
What you can get for under €30 is likely to make Parfums de Marly very angry.
Liquid Bruin is so incredibly close to the original that no one would notice the difference. And the performance is better. It literally lasts until the next day.

Due to the overwhelming wave of success that Liquid Bruin has enjoyed since its release, other Althair dupes are hardly noticed anymore.

However, with Vanilla Dunes, Khadlaj has succeeded in putting the imaginary vanilla crown on the Althair DNA.
Because if you thought Liquid Bruin was heaven on earth, then you haven't experienced true paradise yet. Because it gets even better!

Take Althair's best batch, replace vanilla sugar with bourbon vanilla sugar and sweeten it with marshmallow cream. Add a drop of matured whiskey and bed it on dusty wooden planks.
Then you have created the true Althair paradise.

For me, Vanilla Dunes is the holy grail of Althair DNA and that too for under 30€ with the performance and staying power of a Liquid Bruin.

Somehow you can feel a little sorry for Parfums de Marly, or simply thank the makers of Khadlaj for managing to surpass the original.
