Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
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.
Opens with a bright, slightly medicinal bergamot sharpened by cardamom and a cool green snap of basil — clean but with enough edge to avoid smelling like soap. The heart softens quickly as amber rounds out the spice, pulling it toward something warmer without going sweet. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: sandalwood and vetiver settle into a quiet, woody-earthy base with moderate sillage and close projection that stays close to skin by hour three. — A reliable everyday wear for spring and fall, best suited to someone who wants clean and grounded without trending masculine-aquatic.
