Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a juicy, almost candy-bright peach threaded through red spider lily, which adds a slightly exotic floral edge without going green or sharp. The heart settles into jasmine and tuberose — classic white florals, creamy rather than heady — anchored quickly by vanilla that pulls everything toward gourmand territory. Sandalwood in the dry-down keeps it from going full dessert, lending just enough warmth and softness to extend the sillage. Projection is moderate to strong; it announces itself but doesn't overwhelm a room — best for warm-weather daywear or casual evenings when you want something effortlessly pretty without overthinking it.
Opens with a burst of warm, slightly bitter tobacco leaf cut through with baking spices, then settles quickly into its real identity: a dense, almost edible heart of vanilla and tonka bean wrapped around sweet tobacco blossom and a whisper of cocoa. The dry-down is smooth and relentless, staying close to the skin but leaving a heavy, honeyed sillage that reads in any room. Projection is generous without being aggressive — this wears like an expensive dessert you're not sharing — Deep fall and winter evenings, anyone who wants to smell unmistakably present.
