Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
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.
Lychee and bergamot open it bright and slightly fizzy, with ginger adding a clean snap before things soften quickly into a peony-rose heart that reads genuinely floral rather than synthetic. The dry-down is where it earns its price: cacao and patchouli settle into a warm, lightly powdered base that feels expensive without turning heavy. Projection is moderate — intimate rather than room-filling — and the sillage lingers as a soft skin-close sweetness for hours. — Best worn in cooler months by someone who wants a polished, grown-up floral with just enough gourmand warmth to feel cozy.
