Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright, almost candied burst of peach and apple — ripe but not cloying, carrying a faint green edge from marigold that keeps the fruit grounded. The heart settles into a soft floral blend of rose and jasmine, approachable and clean rather than heady or powdery. The dry-down is where it earns its longevity: sandalwood, musk, and vanilla fold together into a warm, skin-close base that stays intimate rather than projecting loudly. Sillage is modest throughout — a personal fragrance rather than a room-filler — a warm-weather daily wear for someone who wants fresh florals without anything sharp or challenging.
Opens with a burst of tart pomegranate cut through with green freshness — fruit-forward but not sweet, more like crushed stem than candy. The heart darkens quickly as black orchid and violet push the green out, pulling it into a moody, slightly powdery floral with a faintly earthy edge. Lotus keeps it from going fully heavy. The dry-down is where it commits: amber and musk settle into a warm, woodsy base with real sillage and lasting projection that stays close but noticeable for hours — Made for fall evenings, date nights, or anyone who wants a grown, slightly mysterious signature that doesn't need to shout.
