Is it really just a dupe?
Wear just a sweater that still smells like burdèl, it had me 3 days ago sprayed on the wrist to compare as so often, 2 or 3 düfte or test :) And the perfume is still very clearly perceptible on the sweater. Do that every now and then. With all possible fragrances and samples I have.
But how does Burdèl smell?
Opening.
Shortly after spraying, it smells as wonderful as hardly anything else. Bergamot, fresh spices something cool, slightly sweet and in the background these woody notes. It reminds one already strongly of "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Perfume) | XerJoff" the oud remains woody, dry, clean and never goes in a stale or dirty direction. Thus, even oud newcomers will enjoy this fragrance. One notices immediately the high concentration of the perfume, it remains an oily film on the skin.
The opening is for me the most beautiful part.
A smooth 10.
The rest of the story.
The freshness and fruitiness slowly goes into the background and to the appearance come more and more the woody and spicy notes. However, one has Burdèl always this fresh bergamot in the duft course, at least at me. And exactly this also distinguishes it from "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (perfume) | XerJoff"
Together with vanilla comes a slight sweetness to it, but wonderfully done. Very elegant, yet sexy. Never penetrating or too much of a good thing, although the performance is really convincing. The delicious lemon cake already hits it, as many describe it.
This perfume is almost perfectly balanced.
A 9
Drydown
In the drydown it changes only marginally. He remains woody, slightly fruity, sweet and above all sexy. He radiates something that I find very attractive and erotic. Especially in drydown.
You always smell your arm, so at least I feel that way :) it could be the cardamom with vanilla and the oud. That makes it so delicious.
Conclusion.
Burdèl reminds one really clearly of "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (perfume) | XerJoff"
(Provided of course you know the XerJoff) :D
However, you wear both simultaneously, so you also recognize the differences better.
For me, it is more masculine, fruity and fresh, thereby it also has that certain extra that I was missing with AlexII.
It is not a dupe, rather a new interpretation or further development. I do not mind the similarity, am of course more than satisfied with it, as you could see from my review :)
The XerJoff is a wonderful perfume. And I love the fragrance. Nevertheless, TT with Burdel has managed to still improve an almost perfect fragrance. Since I persöhnlich exactly that was missing with Alex.
If you own Alex you need now but not run to buy Burdel. You have with Alex a unisex classic, which will always be special.
People who did not like AlexII, Burdel will also not like. For this they are too similar.
The bottle is beautiful, the sprüher average, the presentation excellent.
The price on offer unbeatable. (Please do not pay 390€ for it)
Performance well above average.
Almost all year wearable, in too warm temperatures I would recommend something else.
Unisex - masculine.
Age from 25 - XX
Disco, bar, restaurant or whatever. Almost always wearable.
For sports or shopping in the supermarket, it is too fine and special, take for it rather something lighter and cheaper :)
It will probably never become as popular as "Oud Stars - Alexandria II (Perfume) | XerJoff" but those who were able to discover it, will certainly not regret it :)
