Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a sharp, almost medicinal green tea cut against cool cardamom spice — clean but with enough edge to avoid smelling like soap. The heart softens through orris and violet leaf, adding a faintly powdery, earthy green quality that keeps it from going fully aquatic. Dry-down settles into cashmeran and vetiver, which gives the musk a warm, slightly smoky depth rather than a bare skin finish. Projection is moderate; sillage is close but lasting. — A spring-to-summer daily wear for anyone who wants clean without boring.
Opens with a bright snap of mandarin orange and green, almost herbal sage that reads more botanical than culinary. The heart is a clean, soft floral — lily and jasmine blending into freesia rather than competing with it, keeping the whole thing airy and light rather than heady or sweet. Projection is moderate and well-behaved; this isn't a room-filler. The dry-down settles quietly into warm sandalwood, which anchors the florals without pushing them aside. Sillage is close to skin by the second hour — intimate and subtle throughout. — Ideal for spring and early fall office or daytime wear; suits someone who wants classic, inoffensive femininity without making an entrance.
