Brilliant Bronze

Overall this perfume has that Amber and Powdery vibes. Spice and herbs on the first spray evokes Boozyness in the perfume. The most beautiful moment is when the flower comes out. It lift up the whole experience into Airy and soft scent. This part is which I like it the best. I believe they use 2 types of light wood. One that contribute to creamy, and the other ones add menthol and camphorous quality to it. Sadly it doesn't last long and happens in between Boozy transition to Flowery. Slowly after the scent becoming heavier and heavier and Powdery. On the end of it lifespan leaving ambery scent close to skin. COMPARISON - Historic Cedar; the Brilliant Bronze blows with quality. When Historic Cedar only comes up with a plain fruit bomb linear scent through out. Blend 5/5 (playful layers of scent) Uniqueness 5/5 (flowers yet manly) Quality 4/5 (good performance although not a monster)

So i just got this in on 2/19/25! I sprayed twice on my hand and it’s still lingering the following day as i write this. Now i got mixed up thinking this was Halfeti Cedar (in my head i mixed up the Halfeti cedar and leather) so in my mind there is a possibility it could be Halfeti cedar only because this takes the Halfeti DNA and pushes it in a woody direction. I don’t remember how Cedar or leather smell exactly but I’m willing to put them side by side to compare! Overall, Brilliant Bronze is easily a hidden gem considering price, quality and similarity to the Halfeti DNA!!!

A good alternative to Penhaligon's Halfeti Leather. A solid pick up for its price. The leather kinda weak but it's more woody and warm spicy. The performance on my skin was solid 7hrs.

I should definitely gatekeep this one

This one is more woody & bitter spicy, and unfortunately lacking complexity for a warm spicy fragrance, because the oud & the leather and other notes are kinda weak. But this is a good option for layering with other fragrance that have strong sweet cinnamon or toffee.
