Darker & heavier than the EdP
Last year, the original EdP Gris Charnel Eau de Parfum wandered into my collection. For me, perfection as far as a great warming autumn scent is concerned. It's just so cozy and I still love it today. Also the durability is really satisfying. From the performance you do not need an extrait. Many laymen think such flankers and in this case the extrait version is just more performance. This is often not the case, as there are already differences in fragrances. This fragrance is also somewhat different from its original, but this great basic DNA is always perceptible.
Who knows the original can order this fragrance without risk blind. The RRP is a little too high with 245€, but you get it already significantly cheaper. Described in a nutshell, one can summarize: Initially stronger sillage, darker fragrance DNA, possibly also a bit more masculine than the soft original. I like darker versions of lighter fragrances, as is also the case with Prada L'Homme and Prada L'Homme Intense. Especially in the dark such fragrances come very well, have something mysterious.
The packaging is great. Matching the dark fragrance DNA this comes in great black cardboard where all fragrance notes are listed again. This brand has style. Also the uniform flacons can convince and these atomizers are already world class.
When dividing the strength of the notes was played around a bit: The cardamom note in the opening is much much stronger than that in the EdP, but the fig note is very dimmed down and the black tea is also slightly weaker. Here, especially the cardamom fans get their money's worth. The top note is extremely long present and the heart note goes down slightly, which is not too bad. The 5 base notes, on the other hand, are very present and the dark patchouli kicks in very early and provides a slightly darker DNA. The sweetness from the tonka and bourbon vanilla is not sticky and provides a soft and sweet vibe in the background. Also this beautiful sandalwood note is very pleasant as in the original and is for me in combination with the other notes already perfection. The fragrance is already very cuddly, cuddly and simply also very interesting and balanced.
The performance is slightly better than the original. Especially the opening is already beastmode. The Extrait is already a perfect fragrance for evening. Intense and also the fragrance aura is very appealing for the late hours of the day. Sillage is the first 2-3 hours very room-filling, then becomes very pleasant.
On the whole for me a draw between the EdP and the Extrait. Both have their advantages and I like to have both in my collection. Who has not so much or wants to spend: Lattafa has with Liam a clone, which I will also still test. Overall a great extrait, which is simply worth the price. Especially for men and ladies who like dark fragrances a great upgrade.
