Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Aldehydes and bergamot cut sharp and soapy in the opening, with peach adding a soft, slightly fuzzy warmth underneath. The heart settles into a polished floral — iris bringing a cool powdery chalk, rose and jasmine blending seamlessly rather than competing. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: vanilla and sandalwood pull everything into a warm, skin-close finish with quiet, elegant sillage that lingers without announcing itself. Projection is moderate — present but never loud — making it feel refined rather than daring — Tailored for women who want a classic, versatile floral-oriental for office wear or date nights in spring or fall.
Grapefruit dominates the opening — bright, slightly tart, almost candied by the quince underneath. The heart softens quickly into a sheer jasmine with hyacinth adding a cool, green lift rather than anything powdery or heavy. The dry-down is where it earns its reputation: white musk and cedar settle into a clean, skin-close warmth that lingers without announcing itself. Projection is polite, sillage light — this one stays in your orbit, not the room's. — Ideal for warm-weather days, offices, or anyone who wants an effortless, grown-up clean without going aquatic.
