Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a sharp, green-edged rose that wastes no time before the cedarwood moves in and takes over — dry, slightly smoky, and very linear from there. The ambrette softens the wood with a subtle skin-like warmth, keeping it from going full lumberyard, but make no mistake: cedar is the point here. Sillage is moderate and close-wearing; the dry-down is quiet but persistent, leaving a clean woody skin trace that lasts hours. — Best in cool weather for someone who wants a floral that behaves like a wood.
Opens with a soft, almost edible muskiness from ambrette layered over the faintly jammy, tropical sweetness of nesberry — unusual and immediately distinctive. The heart settles into a sheer floral blur of violet and magnolia that reads more like clean skin than cut flowers. Sandalwood and ambergris anchor the dry-down with a warm, powdery creaminess that lingers close to skin for hours. Projection is modest; sillage is intimate, a personal-space fragrance rather than a room-filler — ideal for warm-weather days when you want to smell effortlessly clean without trying too hard.
