Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright, citrusy bergamot cut by sharp juniper berries and a clean black pepper bite — energetic without being aggressive. The heart settles into cool cedar with a faint birch smokiness underneath, giving it a quiet, woody backbone. Projection is moderate; it stays close to skin by the dry-down, leaving a clean, slightly resinous trail with good sillage for the first few hours. Polished but understated — ideal for office wear or casual outings across spring and summer for someone who wants a reliable, crowd-safe woody fresh.
Lavender opens soft and slightly powdery before the vanilla orchid and amber pull it into warmer, creamier territory. The heart settles into a skin-close gourmand haze — sweet but not cloying, with sandalwood adding just enough dry depth to keep it from reading as pure dessert. Projection is moderate; sillage stays intimate. The dry-down is the best part: a warm, musky vanilla that clings for hours without announcing itself. Clean but sensual, simple in the best way — fall and winter evenings, for anyone who wants to smell effortlessly good without trying too hard.
How they overlap

The buying decision
