You are one of the few frag reviewers who consistently does side by side skin tests (as opposed to paper strips). Thank you. Humans are made of skin, not paper.

I picked this up at the end of October because I was curious about the fig and tea notes. Never smelled Gris but I love the clone.

This is a great side by side review. Ive noticed some big reviewers give cloe frags a fantastic review when they launch, but then run the clone down 6 months later when newer clones have launched.

I never tested either of them, but I own a few Lattafa dupes that I tested side-by-side with the originals and what I can say is that everyone of those clones need to sit after I spray them a few times.. Middle-eastern frags, not only the ones from Lattafa, change for the better in my experience after you spray them and leave them for a few weeks

Been thinking about getting this one because everyone says it is amazing. I have also heard a lot of people say out of the box it isn't the best, but after a few weeks it totally changes and becomes amazing

@@mikeycologne Those Middle Eastern fragrances need to "mature" before you can accurately determine. They crank them out by the vat-full, and they are shipped "immature"...but that's what makes them cheap.

A fantastic Gris Charnel close is from Fragrance World for under $50 called Francique 63.55 . Of course not the same juice quality , but in the air gets 90 % close to the bdk . Maybe the best fragrance for the price I bought in 2023 .

I was very close to picking this one up before Christmas. Would've been a blind buy gift, but I've always maintained that the first 10 sprays out of a bottle are a write off. Bottle components have their coatings too and everything needs to equalize. Best approximations are 3, 12 and 48 weeks after getting those first sprays out. Nevertheless, what you said makes sense. Sweet bases are always cheaper to produce. Incidentally, I recently got to smell the Francique clone off of a friend and it was bang on. That would probably be my pick if I wanted a GC copy. ✨

Mate! Your channel popped up on my feed and it's awesome here! I love the way you review fragrances and you have a great vibe. I've started buying Middle Eastern fragrances over this past fortnight and I know that I will need to let them sit and macerate for six weeks after the first 4 sprays. Can't wait to see how the juice changes over that time. Thanks for the review!

Exactly!!! They crank those Middle Eastern fragrances by the vat-full and they haven't had a chance to "age"...but that makes them cheap. Clear the straw with 5-10 sprays and let them sit. You can't make an accurate determination for at least another month!

Gris Charnel wasn't a home run for me. And I think I would like addition of a more creamy vanilla and no green note from the fig. Do you think in that way I could like it more? I'm female btw*

i hear that lattafa liam is more closer to gris charnel extrait, and francique 63.55 is closer to the edp version which is known to be more creamier which may be what your looking for

BDK fragrances are aged before shipping. Same with French designer brands...and wines, for that matter. That's why they charge so much for them.
