Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright, slightly candied lychee that quickly gives way to the heart: a clean, powdery rose anchored by soft peony and magnolia. The floral core is polished rather than heady — feminine without being old-fashioned. Cedar keeps it from going too sweet, and the amber dry-down adds a quiet warmth that lingers close to skin. Projection is moderate; sillage is gentle and well-mannered, leaving a soft floral-musky trail rather than announcing itself across a room — A reliable everyday wear for spring and summer, best suited to office environments or casual daytime outings.
Opens with a bright, slightly tart mirabelle cut through by clean bergamot and airy freesia — the kind of opening that reads fresh without going aquatic. The heart settles into jasmine anchored by a chypre accord that keeps things grounded and slightly mossy rather than sweet. Patchouli and oakmoss build a dry, earthy dry-down with moderate projection and a soft, skin-close sillage that lingers rather than announces. Wears polished but unfussy — for someone who wants structure without heaviness.
