Firestorm Extrait

This is a sneaky good fragrance. I had some hesitant thoughts about the purchase of this awesomely presented fragrance and I wasn’t disappointed. Sure, it’s not a 1:1 of “The World According to Arthur” due to the Apple accord (nor was I expecting it to be a 1:1) for the $48 price tag, but DAMN this fragrance is still great! I’ve seen mixed reviews online (not that there are many available via YT or Fragrantica) and wasn’t sure what to expect apon first sprays and boy, was I pleasantly surprised to find it smoother and not as sweet as expected, which is a great in my opinion. I had to come back and actually take a second look at the notes to try to pinpoint what accords were so enticing about this fragrance and It’s the apple and frankincense combo. Very unique and blended beautifully. Now, in my personal opinion (*which is just an opinion and doesn’t mean anything) this was a great blind buy & I can see myself wearing it year-round even in on the rare cooler summer nights if I went light on sprays. I would not recommend for temps over 85°F in dry climate and not over 75°F if you’re in a humid climate. If your an adult and use “spray discretion” it won’t be cloying or overpowering if also applied generously with common sense. Silage is within an arms reach until the late mid. I think this would be office appropriate (but let’s be honest, there’s better fragrances for such a stale environment) and it’s a fragrance you could pretty much wear anywhere if chosen, but it will definitely shine as a cold weather & dressed up occasion fragrance. This review is also just the first day of wear: No maturation has taken place so I assume this fragrance will only get smoother and longer lasting as it ages. I’m into hour four of wearing it and it’s still humming along in the middle. If you’re on the fence about buying this just pull the trigger. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. 8.5/10 and hoping for a 9.2/10 by the start of fall.

Nose Note #819 People have complained that this is far away from the OG. I haven't tried it. But this is so special. I loved it from the first sniff. It's not like a 10/10, but this is a colder days no-brainer for me. Just so easy to wear, but maybe it's just me. Nothing about it puts me off, I can overspray it all I want. I love the notes of myrrh and incense, and here's some unique myrrh. The combo with myrrh-vanilla-red apple is amazing and one of a kind. This is quite a naturalistic sweet red apple with a strong incense base - go find something similar... I find this to be very inoffensive, and it's all the more better because it's a strong perfume. I love when a perfume gives me whiffs of it for hours, and Firestorm is one of them, so it won me over from the first wearing - I'm a sucker for very strong fragrances. Firestorm is not a beast, but it's confidently strong. Kind of a lazy strong. I get subtle minty nuance from time to time. It's a perfume that really has sides to it, but it's not overly complex. I think it's perfectly unisex. I'm really sorry for the people that don't like it. Right now it has a 3.99 rating. I think it deserves 4.1 at least. 9/10, such an uplifting happy winter scent

I got a decant today and like the scent very much. For sure it still need to mature, as it is very new there in the shop from where I got it, so I will try it again in a couple of weeks. But as for now I can feel for sure the species, olibdanum and sweetnes of an apple. I was afraid that the perfume is way too masculine (as I am a woman), but now I see that it is rather unisex. If you like church vibes, you'll like it for sure. I'm fascinated with this scent and for sure will buy the whole bottle, especially that is so cute. Curious, if the other perfume from that line (thunder) is unisex as well.

It smells like an apple flavored hookah. It's smoky and spicy with a bit of sweetness coming from apple and vanilla. It’s a very slept-on fragrance, in my opinion. It deserves more hype and love. I don’t think it’s fair to judge this fragrance based on the popular scent people think it’s trying to copy; it’s actually very different, and intentionally so. This is a twist on the OG, and it’s beautiful and more wearable than the OG. Definitely, more people need to pick this one up.

This is not a dupe of Penhaligon Arthur. There's no insence note in this fragrance which makes it more wearable (I'm more prone to wear this). Initially, you get a blast of red apple, it's very fresh, then it dries down into a slight tobacco and vanilla scent (very similar to PDM Althair or TF Tobacco Vanilla). Don't be fooled by the bottle, literally only the bottle is a dupe :) Overall, more wearable, fresh than Penhaligon Arthur
