A Mistake in the Lab...
As always, I'll start from the beginning.
I like Arthur, but he is very expensive and I don't know if it's worth it for me. That's why Firestorm came in handy. I hoped it would be enough to ignore the other dragons.
The bottle does hint at what it is supposed to be, and whether it is particularly beautiful is up for debate. It should smell good.
Well then, off to the first spray.
A somewhat wild opening with rose and davana, which soon shifts to apple notes. A hint of cardamom is present. You have to sort that out first, especially if you're expecting something different. Frankincense is rather supportive in the background.
Amber soon comes to the forefront and feels a bit ... I'll call it simpler than the original composition with ambrette.
Finesse is nowhere to be found here.
At some point after half an hour or more, you get the impression that the scent is somewhat approaching the original... but somehow not really. But it does remind me of something... wait...
Something must have gone wrong in the lab during the cloning... or were the samples swapped?
If someone had told me that Firestorm was supposed to be an AS with a big twist, I would have believed it more. It certainly has little in common with the red dragon.
So, conclusion:
A nice cheapie that you can wear well in autumn/winter, especially if you like apple. I find the rose rather disturbing and it unfortunately lingers for a long time.
If you're looking for a scent that loosely (!) goes in the direction of AS in style and is a tiny bit more floral, you can give this a try. However, if you're looking for an alternative to Arthur, you're in the wrong place.
