Liquid Brun Limited Edition

If 2010's Creed Aventus by Jean-Christophe Hérault and Erwin Creed and 2015's Armaf Club de nuit Eau de toilette kick open the nightclub door and bitch slap each and every guest there within, then Liquid Brun Limited Edition knocks on that door politely, waits to be invited in and personally greets everyone with a warm handshake! I was in the upstairs bedroom, my wife downstairs in the front room seated, and five minutes after application a voice from downstairs, 'You smell nice!'. Close up she confirmed that she really liked this fragrance. No other fragrance has had that effect on her to date, not even Aventus nor Club de nuit! Compared to the original Liquid Brun on my skin I immediately loved the Limited edition and preferred it. Gone was the initial alcohol blast, the Cinnamon note, and that odd metallic note. This is instantly brighter, more adult, more intense in an alternative note pathway, and to my nose has a chocolate like opening that I like very much. Ten minutes in and that subsides to allow a sweet, floral note and the fresh lavender is noticeable and actually really appealing. The vanilla begins to surface on my skin after 20 minutes. This is absolutely a unisex fragrance in my opinion, and I can see ladies loving this. It is also lighter, less cloying than the original, and can easily be worn anytime of day or night, any month of the year. Often misunderstood, an extrait de parfum may be stronger as a concentration than an EDP and might stay on your skin for far longer, but also it may not project as much as an EDP. True to form, Liquid Brun Limited Edition Extrait de parfum to my nose and on my skin quickly settles and creates a sensorial, intimate, sensual air that delights others who are close by. This actually is love at first sniff for me and I feel that the perfumers have pulled off a perfect execution with the replacement of ingredients from the original. This is sexy, alluring, pleasant from the get go, fills my nostrils with incredible waves of beautiful aromas, a sure fire winner. At 30 minutes, the Rose comes forward on my skin and you know what, I really rather like it. Here it is balanced and subtle, a touch of that Turkish delight Rose & lemon aroma, slightly candied. There is a little wood here too coming through, slightly smoky, wet even, subtle and alluring and adding a depth balanced with the Rose note. An hour in and it has all settled down into a rose and creamy vanilla, with a touch of chocolate and woods scent that absolutely dances on my nostrils. Utterly addictive, singularly beautiful. An Amber accord in the base adds a sweet, warm, slightly powdery aroma from it's mix presumably of vanilla (pods), labdanum (rock rose flower which grows wild in the Sierra Norte mountain range North of Seville in Andalusia Spain), and benzoin (resin) along with performance enhancers, spices, woods, musks, resins etc, sometimes Patchouli too. Two hours after application my wife once more commented on how nice the fragrance, two compliments is a great result. It is now everything I had hoped for in that original LB, smooth, creamy, delightful and with that harsh metallic note gone, the rose working beautifully with the Vanilla, this has very quickly catapulted into one of my top favourites of the fragrance world. Three hours in, this is NOT nuclear, not beast mode, and has settled closer to my skin, sending delicious wafts as I move. At seven hours, a subtle but delicious skin scent and gone completely by nine hours though lasts twelve hours on my shirt, pillows and bedsheets. MY OVERALL RATINGS AND FINAL THOUGHTS PRESENTATION 9.9/10 Beautiful box and bottle *more presence than smaller original). Excellent cap and spray nozzle. AROMA 9.9/10 I love this fragrance PROJECTION 9/10 Will get you noticed, but in a very good way. Settles quickly to Modest, intimate, pleasing and non offensive SILLAGE 8/10 Closer to the skin after 2-3 hours. Delightful to my nose LONGEVITY 9/10 Seven good hours on my skin, gone by nine hours but 12 hours on my clothes. Better than original LB HYPE Vs REALITY? 9.9/10 A mind blowing universal WOW. It is sublime, gorgeous, sexy, alluring, and amazingly the Rose words superbly well. Sweeter than the original. It is grown up, sophisticated, elegant, classy, a middle eastern vibe. OBSERVATIONS: Totally unisex. A safe blind buy and my favourite by a mile of the two versions. Expertly blended, rounded and smooth and the different ingredients and notes work so much better in this version, creating to my nose one of the most perfect fragrances I have ever had the pleasure to own and wear. Easy to wear any season, any time of day from summer to date nights, parties, intimate encounters, winter and fall. OVERALL AS A FRAGRANCE 9.99/10 As close to fragrance perfection as Mugler Pure Tonka and Pure Havane were (for different reasons). For me now a signature scent, an incredible perfume that I truly admire and adore, and all that for £50! Sheer madness in these days of greed and capitalism.

Decant review: Liquid Brun LE opens as a fresh aromatic spicy composition. Clean Lavender sits prominently, giving the scent a crisp aromatic quality with a slight sharp edge. A sweet citrus note adds fruity brightness early, making the opening feel smooth and lightly sweet without being dense. Warm spice from Cardamom quickly emerges, providing spicy warmth. Beneath the aromatic structure, Vanilla and Tonka Bean are very noticeable. The sweetness reads as creamy and spiced rather than gourmand or edible. As the fragrance develops, the citrus fruitiness fades and the scent becomes more floral and spicy. Lavender remains present but the spice begins to take the lead along with the vanilla and tonka. The sweetness evolves into a creamy spiced vanilla, almost reminiscent of cinnamon vanilla while still staying restrained and non gourmand. A subtle powdery texture appears from the florals, giving the scent a soft cosmetic smoothness. During this stage the fragrance can best be described as spiced aromatic vanilla with light powdery florals. Around the middle of the wear a green earthy undertone begins to appear. This comes across as slightly mossy and mildly sharp before smoothing out. At the same time, the vanilla begins to soften while the spice remains present. The scent gradually shifts away from creamy sweetness toward a warmer amber tone. In the late stages the fragrance settles into a spicy amber base. The sweetness transitions from vanilla to Amber, giving the scent a warm glowing sweetness rather than a creamy one. The spice from cardamom remains surprisingly persistent. Performance: Longevity: ~10 hours. I was surprised at how well the base was still pumping off skin 8+hour in. Projection: Strong on skin up, and holds up insanely well on clothes My only critique is the oak moss kinda threw me off in the mid with the mossy, earthy sharpness. It smoothed out quickly, and the earthiness the oak moss provided a contrast to the spicy vanilla. Having not tried the original Liquid Brun, nor the OG, I was very impressed by the smell, quality and longevity of LBLE. I loved the cardamom and how it interacted with the vanilla, and how it persisted through out the wear. It made LBLE a unique and enjoyable wear. 9.5/10

Guys, Original Liquid Brun is more fresh and higher sillage/projection But Limited Edition feels like macerated Liquid Brun, it feels like deeper, more potent, slightly less sweet but more syrupy scent. The atomizer is different, Original sprays more focused/centered less small mist, limited edition is spraying finer mist, im not sure if its better i find OG atomizer better The longevity is same and its not crazy monstrous like people claim. Hawas Kobra is stronger for comparison to you. The smell is better. When i first bought Liquid Brun, it felt so chemical/disgusting after months of maceration it smells so good now I would say buy Limited edition if you buying, but if you have OG, dont buy limited edition, not worth it, stick with another fragrance. Its not wow or crazy mindblowing. Bottle is def an upgrade It isnt eternal, but same as OG, lasts long Sillage/projection is damped down, OG is more potent I dont know why but the oil concentration seems higher on OG, my hand has layer of oil from the OG, but from limited edition already gone. Batch from january, from parfimo.de Overall, satisfied and will use it Im mixing OG with Limited Edition 50/50 to create balance and higher longevity because OG seems perform better but Limited Edition smells more sexy/mature/masculine Honestly if i could get same exact batch of mine, i would go OG if i could get same juice inside. I got 2 more unopened Limited Edition, lets wait a year and see how it is. I love it but remember, it becomes quick skin-scent Perfect for special dates, age group def +20 years old This wouldnt suit on age under 20 Up to 50-60 its good as long as you dress nice too. Can be worn at anytime IMO, for every situation but it feels more right as if for date night with your special one. It smells less close to Althair btw, this Limited Edition OG is much closer. Im happy tbh i believe it will be bit better in 2-4 months, inexpensive too.

Hello good people of Fragrantica, I received my Liquid Brun Limited Edition Extrait 150ml today. Starting with the bottle; it looks fantastic. Shiny, bold, and truly gives off that oriental niche presence. It definitely feels like a special edition. As for the scent: it’s essentially the same DNA as the original Liquid Brun, but elevated. Being an extrait, the projection feels stronger and the overall scent profile comes across slightly richer and deeper. It’s not a different fragrance, just a more concentrated and refined version of the OG. Personally, I prefer this Limited Extrait over the original. For me, it was a good buy. I sprayed once on my hand about two hours ago and it’s still projecting strongly. I’ll update this post later today or tomorrow with full thoughts on longevity and overall performance. I’ve seen some comments saying this limited edition leans feminine. Using that same logic, the OG leans feminine too because they smell nearly identical. To my nose, both versions lean slightly more masculine than feminine, but overall they are clearly unisex. Wearability: - Year-round fragrance - In summer, better for cooler evenings - Works both daytime and nighttime Who should buy it? • If you love Liquid Brun OG and you’re a collector → Get the Extrait. • If you like the OG but aren’t a collector → Finish your bottle first, then upgrade. • If you don’t own either but have tried and liked it → Go straight for the 150ml Extrait. • If you tried the OG and didn’t like it → Stay away from this version too. You won’t like it either. I’ll follow up soon with a performance update. Update-1: It has been 11 hours and I can barely smell it anymore but it lasted until now. Impressive longevity. Keep in mind that this was only 1 spray.

Althair was a genius idea, mashing up two very successful DNAs, Mercedes Club Black and Sculpture, and I'm mentioning those specific two fragrances, as anyone who has worn them a lot can easily smell some common aromachemicals in Althair (along with plenty of others of course, it was an amazing blend). Those two fragrances were quite cheap though, so French Avenue cooked up a very good and very affordable dupe and took the industry by storm, joining CDNIM, Hawas FH, 9pm and others in the clone industry Hall Of Fame. The limited edition takes the recipe and emphasizes the artificial medicinal syrup coated orange blossom of Sculpture, turns down the Mercedes Club Black benzoin, removes most of the praline accord of Althair, and uses a cleaner version of that familiar middle eastern oud-like base. The result differs quite a bit from Althair, but is a vastly improved Liquid Brun, with most of the cloying aspects gone and greatly improved projection and a less stinky drydown. It's still thick and very present, but doesn't feel as heavy as the og. Which is a very good thing to my nose. The orange blossom is more punchy, the vanilla is whiter, it feels much easier to wear and has a more nose-grabbing sillage. Took a while to get my hands on a decant, as I'm not planning to get a bottle, I'm tired of the DNA as it's becoming the mens equivalent to the BR540 clones, you smell it everywhere, even on a hot day in the middle of Summer. But this is an EXCELLENT twist! I can't wait to smell PDM's answer with Althair Exclusif.
