Melted Glaze by Al Absar

Melted Glaze by Al Absar is a rich, ultra-gourmand fragrance known for its delicious, photorealistic "strawberry shortcake pound cake glaze" profile.

Fragrance Notes:

While the simplified note breakdown focuses on the heaviest hitters, the complete official composition includes:

• Top Notes:

Apple, Strawberry, Citrus, and a hint of Rum

• Heart Notes:

Caramel, Milk, Soft Violet, and Orange Blossom

• Base Notes:

Tonka Bean, Ambergris, and Musk

Is it a Dupe?:

Unlike other releases in the Melted line, Melted Glaze is considered an original DNA blend rather than a direct, intentional 1:1 dupe of a specific famous designer fragrance. However, fragrance reviewers frequently note that its milky, syrupy-sweet dry down shares a very similar vibe to a combination of Bianco Latte and Yamushi Marshmallow.

Target Audience: Men or Women?:

It is officially marketed as a unisex fragrance, though it leans heavily feminine due to its intense, unapologetic sweetness. Anyone who loves smelling like a literal baked dessert will enjoy it.

Season & Occasion:

• Season:

Fall and Winter are ideal, as its thick, warm, and syrupy gourmand notes bloom beautifully in colder weather. However, the bright fruitiness from the strawberry allows it to be worn year-round by true gourmand lovers.

• Occasion:

Best suited for casual wear, cozy date nights, or relaxed evenings. It is perfect for times when you want a comforting, inviting, and highly complimented "edible" scent profile.

Projection & Performance:

• Projection:

Strong. It projects noticeably beyond arm's length for the first 3 hours of wear, leaving a rich, thick scent trail.

• Longevity:

Excellent performance, typically lasting anywhere from 8 to 12+ hours on the skin and clothing.
