Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Raspberry leads loud in the opening — bright, slightly candied, with lychee adding a cool watery lift underneath. The heart is where it earns its keep: damask rose comes in full and dense, softening the fruit without turning floral-generic. Patchouli grounds everything without going earthy or hippie-dark; it's more structural than dominant. The dry-down settles into a warm vanilla-patchouli skin scent with moderate sillage and respectable longevity — intimate but traceable. The overall effect is a polished, slightly sweet floral with gourmand warmth rather than heavy dessert sugar — Made for spring and summer evenings where you want presence without aggression.
Opens with a sharp, saline fig — almost ozonic, like fig skin near the ocean — lifted by pink pepper's dry prickle. The caviar accord makes this odd in the best way: not fishy, but mineral and cool, pushing the fruit into something almost aquatic. The heart settles into mahonia and hawthorn, softly floral but never sweet. Dry-down is clean wood and musk, quiet and skin-close. Projection is moderate; sillage lingers as a subtle, slightly salty trail — Warm-weather wear for someone who finds most florals too easy.
