Here’s what I learned about dupes/clones. They all tend to be fresher than what they’re cloning. That’s because it’s easier and cheaper to mimic a citrus note or accord. The raw materials used by big name perfumers are expensive, like $30 for a 4ml sample. That’s just an investment cloning companies can’t match. So what they tend do is buy the cheaper version of those raw material. As a result, 90% of the time you’ll find the dupes being close, but missing the nuisance, which is what makes the original special.
Thank you for taking the time to share this information, it’s very interesting, there is so much that goes on in the world of fragrance so always refreshing to learn more 😊
Great Review. It's an incredible fragrance for the price. Not sure Althair is worth the $$$ for the admittedly richer and full bodied opening. Brun eventually gets to a VERY similar drydown. I'm subscribing now.
hey thank you so much, yes I agree about the $$$ Althair is so expensive and the dry down is just so close, its an absolute bargain, it's not often you find dupe this good tbh.
Hi Verity!! I’ve been hearing so much about Liquid Brun, it sounds so good! I actually just used up my sample of Althair on Saturday because I wanted to do a full wear test and get my thoughts settled on it. At times I was smelling sort of a “chocolate orange” like the ones that break into little chocolate segments 😅 So that made me curious to go back and watch the video where I first sampled Althair, and in that video I had mentioned an orange Creamsicle scent. But the funny thing is, I also mentioned how the opening of Althair was so surprisingly fresh and spa like! So when you mentioned that freshness in the opening of Liquid Brun, I was like Wow! 🤩 I’ve been so impressed with what I’ve been hearing about Liquid Brun though, it does sound like an awesome alternative! 🧡 Lovely video Verity! ❤
@tammyroxanne. Hi Tammy 😍🥰 I absolutely love Althair it definitely does have some freshness in the opening from the bergamot I just liquid brun is slightly heavier on the aromatics but I still love it and my wallet loves it too 😂 maybe one day if I ever see Althair on sale I’ll buy it 😅 I hope your well ❤
Hi Verity! Really nice comparison and thoughts on both of those fragrances. It is always good to find more affordable options for sure. I have never smelled either of those two fragrance before, so thanks for the review.
Thanks Verity! I have not sampled Liquid Brun. But I have Mercedes Benz Club Black & I sampled Althair side by side on my husband's arms. They are very similar, but MBCB had better performance.
Wow I have not tried Mercedes Benz Club black but I definitely will now, my husband really likes Liquid Brun so I think he has probably now claimed it 🤣
Hi Verity. Althair was love at first sniff for me. I had to have it 😂 but I wish I waited coz I get the same kick out of wearing Liquid Brun. It lasts on me all day and night. Luckily I didn’t pay full price for Althair 🥵
I have been holding off buying Althair even though I have wanted it for so long, so I am really happy to have this fragrance, so glad you didn’t pay full price that would suck, I only ever purchase if I can find a good deal 😅😊
Hi Verity ❤ Wonderful review! p.s. I recently purchased the green one from this collection with pistachio. It was a blindbuy, so finger's crossed it will be gooood 😅 waiting for my parcel to arrive!
@@sanneparf hi beautiful, thank you so much ❤️ I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the pistachio one, hopefully it wont disappoint, luckily they are more affordable but it still hurts if its a flop lol 🤞🏾🥰
I never tried this one! But I am thinking to get Althair. It's so cheesy and I cannot say it's very unique. Although there is something about it, that I am still thinking of it 🥰
Thank you for doing this comparison and honest review! Perfect timing for me as this just came out a day before I discovered and bought a sample of Althair and shortly after found out about Liquid Brun. Do you think it's worth it to do a follow up video of Liquid Brun? Just going over your thoughts and observations about it after wearing it places for a bit
Hi there I am glad you found it somewhat helpful, I will definitely look to do a follow up video to share my thoughts, but so far so good, I have been wearing it for a few days and I genuinely feel it’s a great fragrance and I’m usually very skeptical of dupes, this is one of the best I’ve ever tried, the longevity is amazing too 💯
@@VerityScents Incredible, I've also always thought I'd stay away from dupes and just collect the official thing. But sometimes it doesn't make sense to spend much more extra money if you don't need to
I believe that most people who say the original is better make themselves think it’s better than the clone version. Paying for overpriced items gives you the illusion of being better sometimes.
Garbage to you, but that's just your opinion. Others love and enjoy it, and will save their money and get Liquid Brun instead. In the air nobody can tell the difference. When that's the case, it's financial stupidity to get the original just for bragging rights. But hey, if you have money to throw away, knock yourself out.
