Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a soft, spiced warmth — nothing sharp, nothing demanding — then settles almost immediately into a close-wearing skin musk anchored by sandalwood and amber. The floral musk in the heart keeps it from reading purely woody; there's a faint powdered quality that blurs the line between your skin and the fragrance itself. Sillage is intentionally intimate: this stays close, projects maybe two feet, and dries down to a barely-there amber-musk trail that lasts several hours — Fall and winter skin scent for anyone who wants to smell like a warmer, softer version of themselves rather than a perfume.
Ripe, almost bruised pear dominates the opening — juicy but not candied, with a faintly fermented edge that keeps it honest. The heart softens into white flowers without going powdery, anchored by ambrette's musky warmth that reads more skin than soap. Cedarwood and ambergris pull the dry-down toward a dry, slightly salty base that lingers close to the skin with modest sillage. Projection is gentle throughout; this wears intimate rather than loud — a warm-weather skin scent for anyone who wants fresh without cold.
