Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright snap of bergamot and mandarin that dries down fast, pulling green tea and blackcurrant into the heart — the two together read as cool and slightly tart rather than sweet or fruity. Sandalwood grounds it without going woody, and a clean musk carries things through a quiet, close-to-skin dry-down. Projection is moderate at best; this isn't a room-filler, it's a personal-space fragrance with refined sillage that rewards proximity. — Spring and fall office or date wear for anyone who wants clean without smelling like soap.
Opens with a sharp citrus burst — lemon and orange cut clean, brightened immediately by cool mint that keeps everything from reading as simple fruit. Blackcurrant pulls it slightly dark in the heart, while coriander and basil add an herbal edge that stops it from going sweet. Rose sits quietly underneath without announcing itself; fig rounds the dry-down into something soft and slightly creamy. Projection is moderate, sillage polite — this stays close by afternoon. — Best worn spring through summer, ideal for anyone who wants fresh without smelling like a generic sport fragrance.
