By Kilian Apple Brandy on the Rocks (2021, part of The Liquors collection, nose Sidonie Lancesseur) is an aromatic-fruity boozy gourmand: a crisp green-apple-and-pineapple opening spiked with cardamom and bergamot over a warm rum/brandy heart, drying down to vanilla, moss, cedar and ambroxan — a chilled, fruity-boozy cocktail in a bottle whose main knock is anemic performance for a ~$330 niche price. Because that combination of luxe DNA and weak longevity practically begs for a dupe, the clone landscape is well developed and centers on three names the community returns to. The decant houses lead on fidelity: The Dua Brand's Pomme Trempee On The Rocks (an extrait marketed as a one-to-one match with the exact same note pyramid) and Alexandria Fragrances' Wasted Moment on the Rock (an extrait widely called 'spot on') both track the original closely with far better performance. For a budget pick, Paris Corner's Mawj Appletini (2024) is the affordable Middle-Eastern option — a genuine crowd favorite at roughly a tenth of the price, though reviews consistently note it skews more apple/vanilla and thins out the oak/moss character, and some batches benefit from a few months' maceration. Note the flanker trap: Alexandria also sells plain 'Wasted Moment' inspired by the older 2013 Apple Brandy, which is a different scent from this 2021 'on the Rocks' release.
