What the comments say
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“No offense to the guy/gal because they are on the right track but there are clone fragrances for all intents and purposes that smell identical to their OG counterparts, the liquid brun/althair comparison is an example, same with Thomas Kosmala No.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Heck, I have a bottle of Montagne's clone that is much closer to the original than Liquid Brun.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“That's not true at all, I have Althair, liquid brun and liquid brun limited edition and tested them side by side, wore all of them for few days and they might smell similar, but Althair has so much depth and evolves so beautifully while both liquid bruns smell”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“We are mainly paying for the marketing not the juice and this has been proven by ME dupe houses that can do some of the expensive scents for practically 1:1 such as LV Imagination and Bujairami's dupe Hectic or PDM Althair and French Avenue's Liquid Brun.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Liquid brun the Althair clone is stronger than the real one”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Pretty sure you know this, but since you own Vanilla Dunes don't bother getting Liquid Brun - they're both the same dupe of PDM Althair.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Not every Althair dupe, and not even Althair itself (the tales of their similarity are overstated), but Liquid Brun.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“liquid brun smells exactly like althair and clones of ultra male are super close as well.”
