From the OG to the Dupe

Today I would like to share my experiences with Liam with you Some time ago I owned the Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum as a full bottle, but we never got 100% warm with each other...
The iris was consistently too present and powdery for me, which is why it had to leave my collection.

After I learned that Lattafa was releasing another one that was supposed to be similar to Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum, I was skeptical.

But this initial skepticism disappeared after testing the Liam several times, which is why it was finally allowed to move in with me (also because of the price).

The fragrance begins with a full load of spicy cardamom with a slightly dry black tea note. The fig is noticeable in the background, which reminds me (as is so often the case with figs) of creamy coconut. The creamy fig harmonizes perfectly with the spicy/dry components of the cardamom tea and forms a great counterpoint.
The powdery, subtle iris in combination with the wonderful creamy vanilla-sandalwood base give the fragrance a great elegance and make it absolutely unisex.

Due to the stronger cardamom note, I see it more as a dupe to the extrait.

Therefore, I find the Liam more wearable as a man than the Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum.

The H/S are fine, considering the unbeatable price, I find them sufficient.
Unfortunately, I often get scent-blind with Liam.

For me, this is absolutely the better alternative, as it is spicier and the powderiness of the original, which I find annoying, has been minimized.

I am now a very big fan of this DNA, as it strikes a balance between creamy elegance, a certain cleanliness and a mysterious dark aura at the same time.
Simply an absolute all-rounder that can always be worn.
