What wearers say

“I've got a 10-month-old batch that I took out for its first wear today. The performance is definitely on point, and during winter, it's pretty much a guarantee that it'll turn heads and pull compliments from women. The dupes might come close, but as the original bottle sits and macerates over time, none of them can really touch that level of depth and quality.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Althair to me is like Libre Vanille Couture’s older brother who loves eating spicy food, and takes his liquor strong. Bourbon vanilla is definitely one of my favorite notes in a perfume and this deserves all the hype it’s gotten. It's masterfully mixed with sweetness, spice and creaminess.Longevity, sillage and projection wise makes this boy absolutely worth its price range too. Plus a little goes a long way.I think this is one of the best ones from PDM.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Easy to love and a dumb reach for a lovely spicy (cinammon, cardamom maybe just a touch of pepper in there for a contrast in the opening) vanilla is accentuated with the orange blossom and praline.It’s a beautiful scent that will get you lots of compliments especially with that ambroxan giving it that ethereal lift and push.Only terrible thing with this was that it was cloned to death however I still enjoy it a few times every fall.One of the most innovative releases by PdM. Again unfortunately karma hit and the clone brand got cloned.”
