when I tried to describe my friend's fragrance, I simply couldn't think of anything because I was so stunned. So let's take this as the title! 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 is also stronger and really makes its presence known, the longevity is outstanding. It would be a shame if one couldn't perceive the scent at this price point :) I don't usually wander around in this higher price range, but I do like to try out decants to compare them with the dupes. Many have tried, but in my opinion, there is still no 1:1 dupe for this, I understand that there is a note that all four possess, which is why one can say they go in a common direction. This fragrance is one of the few where I can understand why people would pay the price. Truly excellent! The spicy OG.

Stellar Amber Oh dear, the test strip smells like nothing again, it needs to be sprayed again - and here we are at the problem. Short commercial break. Moving on - I liked this fragrance so much that I absolutely wanted to try the OG for this reason. The Zara version is really nice, I rarely buy backups, but I had to have one of this, you never know when they will be out of stock at Zara. The consumption is quite substantial since the longevity is terrible. A nice, clean, somewhat different scent. The incense dupe.

Bayn Al Asrar I understand the intention that it should be another dupe, 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 | Khadlaj / خدلج" I love you - seriously.
It has that base again, which makes you think of the other three mentioned perfumes, yet it is also different, it is so perfect. It doesn't have the spiciness of the OG but goes in a sweet direction. It is bare skin, clean, sweet, floral, elegant, beautiful, my God, how can a description ever do it justice. This must be how it feels when you have found your scent. I told my friend that this is the perfect fragrance for intimacy, I hope that the description here in the review is okay and that I won't get in trouble. A male person was asked, and he literally answered my question about how to describe the scent: As if little bees were pollinating flowers - interesting :D
It starts with a pear-incense combo, which makes the pear wonderfully soft and creamy. Then this gives way to a hazelnut cream (we're not talking about Nutella) jasmine combo that really packs a punch. This lays on a clean musk bed on which little vanilla stars sprinkle, making the scent wonderfully sweet. Very special.

An update on the topic of longevity and maturation will follow in a few weeks.

Phew, it hits hard!

This is how an incense and/or esoteric shop would smell to me.
It also reminds me of Christmas time when the house is smoked out. It's great for a brief moment, but quickly becomes overwhelming as it is really strong and present.

Those who love spicy frankincense bombs will definitely get their money's worth here!

The twin brother of Paris Corner December Vanilla, which is a dupe of Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli | 64.

The term brother is by no means meant to be masculine; it is definitely a unisex fragrance.

When I spray both on each arm, it simply feels like this to me.
They are triplets, the Kayali and Paris Corner scents are the sisters, and the Riiffs version is the brother. It is not as "penetrating". I like this fragrance direction, but I can't enjoy it for too long because it sometimes becomes too much.

This version here goes a bit in a different direction in the meantime. You spray it, then after a minute it becomes as dramatic as its sisters, and then it becomes lighter, more wearable. I still wouldn't use it for the office. In the dry down, you can again notice how similar they are.

If I didn't already have a full bottle of the sisters lying around, I would prefer to reach for the one from Riiffs.

I immediately think of Penaten Baby Powder when I smell this in the dry down, it smells as if you just refreshed your hair with it and then sprayed a slightly floral perfume over it to mask the baby powder scent a bit. It is pleasant, calming - balsamic, I personally wouldn’t buy a bottle and am very glad that I was able to acquire a decant. I am sure that some people will love it and that it will suit them. Maybe it will mature even more :)

Green apple that is refreshing, sour, and juicy. In the dry down, the chewing gum note emerges, but it reminds me more of Haribo Goldbears. Unisex, absolutely recommendable.

I really like the spray head; the mist is so fine that it is totally satisfying to spray and you just don’t want to stop.

Difference to "Crystallia Primaso | La Fede": the red juicy apple, which is sweeter and a bit more feminine. Please don’t get me wrong, both are unisex, but I would describe the Primaso as slightly more feminine. Together, they layer very well to create a green, red apple basket.
