The heart is where it earns its reputation: magnolia, tuberose, and ylang-ylang stack into a full, creamy white floral that reads confident without being loud. Sillage is moderate and well-behaved.

Dupes are rated on two independent dimensions: scent accuracy (how closely it matches the original) and longevity (how long it lasts on skin). Scores come from owner reports on Reddit r/fragrance, r/fragranceclones and Fragrantica, and each is marked community-scored, provisional or not scored. They are never averaged into a single number — accuracy and longevity are separate decisions.
