What wearers say
“I love this scent. I have had to sit with this a lot to come to love it. As far as Blonde Amber dupes go, this is closer but if you want something more designer esque then it's worth checking out Khadlaj's Onyx Gold (Got so many compliments wearing it)This one smells niche & expensive. It smells like you have money & for the price you can literally make it your signature. I think it's a no brainer to get this. I have two bottles with the most recent one costing me $30. For the price, it's literally a no brainer.”
“I've tried sample of Blonde amber and got faris al arab as well the difference was in the opening blonde amber is more boozy and rich at the same time as compared to faris but in dry down they become 87 percent similar in air but in the opening one can tell the difference...the main difference is smoothness and quality of ingredients used...”
“Look, this is good. For $50 I don't expect much better than this. I've compared this directly with Blonde Amber & Blonde Amber has more prominent sugar/sweet notes with obvious higher quality & blend. Definitely niche smelling but this isn't a beast mode fragrance. Neither is the original but the original is stronger than this. I have to say, the dry down is nice but you can tell it's no niche fragrance with the quality.I wouldn't wear this on a date or special occasion but it's nice to wear doing random things in the winter. 8/10 for me.”
