Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Opens with a bright bergamot-lychee spark that keeps the raspberry from tipping sweet, landing closer to fresh-cut fruit than candy. The heart is a soft, dewy peony-rose pairing — more garden after rain than florist bouquet — airy and feminine without being powdery. Dry-down settles into sandalwood and amber with a clean musk that barely whispers, keeping projection polite and intimate rather than assertive. Sillage is modest; this stays close to the skin by the second hour — best worn in spring and summer by someone who wants fresh florals with just enough warmth to feel grown-up.
Opens with a bright raspberry-peony burst that's fruity without tipping into candy — the rose comes in quickly to anchor it, pulling things toward classic femininity. The iris emerges in the heart and is the real differentiator: cool, powdery, slightly rootsy, giving the whole composition a refined edge that keeps the sweetness honest. The dry-down settles into sandalwood and vanilla over a soft patchouli base, warm and skin-close with a musk that lingers quietly for hours — — Best worn in spring and summer by someone who wants a polished, date-night floral that earns its price in nuance.
