Fondue Velvet Dip

Update: I love the ice cream vibe of this alot but found myself still wanting more straight up coffee. So I finally copped a bottle of Cafe and Cream and I have no regrets, it is the most straight up coffee scent, they really took the DNA there but it lacks the ice cream, however thats okay because I wanted straight up coffee and I got straight up coffee and biscuits. So now I think this Velvet Dip and Cafe and Cream are actually all you need if you like this DNA, and significantly different from one another to someone who wants to explore coffee although obviously branching off from the same Amore Caffe, Velvet Dip if you are looking for something Bianco Latte adjacent and you want to explore delectable ice cream notes in perfume and Cafe and Cream if you want to push this DNA to its realistic coffee limits. Paired together they are just perfect. Old: This is one of the strongest of the Amore Cafe dupes I have tried (Cafe and Cream- scratch that I now think a fully macerated Cafe and Cream is the strongest, Caffe Latte, Shahoor Intense). It is a very strong coffee and ice cream perfume with amazing projection and longevity. I dont know if the notes it lists have just been given to throw off from what it is duping, but I get no cardamom or woody notes, its mostly sweet ice cream with coffee. The only thing I dont like is the atomizer, it doesnt really disperse but is quite concentrated on one spot. Aside from that Arabiyat Prestige is really up there in quality compared to the other Arab perfumes when it comes to solid dupes.

I am a Mancera "Amore Caffe" lover. I've gone through at least 4 x 120ml bottles since the perfume's launch in 2023. I am again exploring coffee-centric fragrances...with cardamom. I LOVE cardamom. While pungent and linear, I love Akro "Awake." Arabiyat Prestige "Fondue Velvet Dip" is a love at first sniff for me! Even my husband, who suffers through my perfume addiction, commented on the perfume's lovely smell. Fondue Velvet Dip is an iteration of Amore Caffe but minus the intensely sweet, boozy-Amaretto-almond accord. In place of the booziness in Amore Caffe, the heart of FVD is an uber-creamy, silky-smooth, NUTTY, VANILLA, coffee accord with LOTS of woodiness. FVD smells like freshly brewed "cafe au lait" with nutty vanilla milk that spilled on a wooden oak table. Cardamom is most evident in the opening, somewhat less-so in the base. The dry-down is gorgeous, it truly is. Performance is average. And did I mention the dry-down? The dry-down is subtle, a bit smoky, and absolutely sublime. Love. Love. Love. Love. Love!!

Wanted to get Al Absar Shahoor Intense for a while but could not find it anywhere online. I coped this one when I see it touted as the strongest Amore Cafe dupe. Absolutely no regrets!!! This is addictive. To my nose, it's a rich vanilla ice cream with a hint of coffee. It's vanillic but it's not suffocatingly dense so I will be wearing this throughout the year. So tempted to get a back-up before this gets hyped up. I will be trying more fragrances from this house as I am very impressed by the quality of the packaging, bottle, atomizer and fragrance!!

If you want beast mode amore caffe choose this without a doubt

Initially, it's like a more complicated version of Amore Café. If you like Amore Café, but find it a little boring, this has some added freshness, cardamon and ambroxan, making it well... more fresh, and more versatile weather-wise. Smells good quality :) The opening is not the best, but it quickly moves on. However, then the cardamon, ambroxan and freshness goes away, and you arrive at Amore Café... I'd rather spend my money on this. A bit sad that it looses most of its notes though - I really like that version of Amore Café.
