"Baby"-Babycat?
For those who are familiar with YSL Babycat, they can imagine something similar with this fragrance. It is by no means a dupe and has significant differences from Babycat, but it plays the same notes.
I would describe it as the small, shy, and introverted brother.
Frankincense and vanilla take a backseat here while a soft, balsamic, woody note comes forward, reminiscent of a sauna infusion. This makes the scent less "dressy" and somewhat more suitable for everyday wear. The pink pepper is noticeably present and gives the fragrance a slight spiciness, like when the little brother gives a gentle jab, in line with the motto "I am still here and not just in the shadow of my brother!" However, in the drydown, it reconciles and becomes warmly embracing.
As with many other French Avenue fragrances, you get quite a lot for your money here. While it’s not a beast mode scent, as the sillage and longevity are more in the middle range, it is a very pleasant and likable fragrance that, in my opinion, is never out of place. The bottle is made of solid glass and makes a good impression.

I actually don't like filled chocolates...
I definitely don't like eating filled chocolates... but hear me out.
This fragrance has not become my signature scent this winter for nothing (and I believe many who have acquired it feel the same way).
Althair starts off extremely sweet, warm, and sparkling at the same time. The combination of woods, cinnamon, and vanilla is a well-known and widespread mix, but here it is expanded by a very interesting component that I haven't smelled before. I perceive a ginger-like spiciness, even though this note does not appear in the fragrance pyramid. (I suspect it is the blend of Ambroxan and orange blossom). It gives the entire scent a bit of edge, so the fragrance is neither boring nor overly sweet. I find the interplay between praline and orange very exciting, as they do not come across as a homogeneous mass, but rather both components run parallel to each other and alternately steal the show in the scent cloud - truly beautiful to observe.
The orange does not come across as liqueur-like at all, but rather like a fresh orange zest, which makes the fragrance feel very natural.
If I had to describe the scent visually, it would be most like a wooden board adorned with pralines, orange peels, cinnamon, vanilla pods, and a bit of ginger.
Althair is not a typical beast mode fragrance for me, but it is consistently present and by no means shy - you will definitely be noticed. The sillage is extremely solid and long-lasting.
The fragrance is definitely something for the colder days (autumn/winter).

I'm sipping my tea...
and the warm steam rises to my nose. In the black tea, there are slices of lemon, orange, and tangerine. Underneath, a light hint of fig joins in, which has probably sneaked into the tea blend. I perceive the fig, but it is not the star of this composition. After a few sips, the palate gets used to the citrus of the tea, and slightly green notes reminiscent of lemongrass emerge. This green freshness lasts until the last sip of the tea and becomes slightly pleasantly bitter towards the end. It reminds me of the light bitterness of green tea that has steeped for about a minute too long - which, in this case, does not seem unpleasant at all.
Despite the calming aura, the scent also has something very energetic/vitalizing for me.
I feel a Yin and Yang with Wulong Cha. When I spray the scent, it awakens in me a feeling of presence, alertness, and drive, while simultaneously providing an inner calm and satisfaction. Wulong Cha is not trying to prove anything to anyone. The scent is pleasing but not boring.
In my eyes, Nishane has created a work of art with Wulong Cha, which hardly anyone can find fault with. The performance is outstanding for a fresh scent, without being a "beast" that can be off-putting. I categorize the scent as "Bright" and see it as a complement to good moods on sunny days in spring/summer.
