4/5 ValueFall

“Don't get me wrong, some Middle Eastern fragrance House is knocked out of the ballpark with their inspirations, Liquid Brun, Pinnace Oryn (imo is a solid Afternoon Swim dupe),Armaf does a great job as well, but most aren't that great.”

2/5 Synthetic / harshUnique

“Yes it often capt the DNA but it's never as nice as the OG (rarely, liquid brun and aether from French avenue are quite near the OG) but others I bought, there's something dirty, or not clear notes, harsh opening like club de nuit.”
