The review
On paper, Burning Bridges is a strong bet if you want Blonde Amber for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blonde Amber's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 79% less than Blonde Amber — the 3rd cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength HK Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on aldehydes, bergamot and spices, turns to dried fruits, jasmine and orange blossom, and settles into amber, blonde tobacco and vanilla. That is the brief Burning Bridges is working from.
Top
- aldehydes
- bergamot
- spices
Heart
- dried fruits
- jasmine
- orange blossom
Base
- amber
- blonde tobacco
- vanilla
Blonde tobacco and dried fruit sunk into amber, opulent and faintly smoky.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 9 twins of Clive Christian Blonde Amber we can price, Burning Bridges is number 3 on price per 100ml.
