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.
Bright and sun-warmed from the first spray, the opening leans hard into bergamot and lemon — clean, sparkling, slightly tart — before mandarin softens the edges. The heart is where it earns its keep: orange blossom and jasmine read as luminous rather than heady, more warm skin than floral arrangement. Cedar and musk anchor the dry-down to something grounded and skin-close, with modest sillage and a gentle, intimate finish. Projection is polite throughout, fading to a barely-there musky warmth. — Ideal for warm-weather days when you want to smell effortlessly clean and sun-kissed without announcing yourself.
