What wearers say
“the scent was great on the drydown but there is a screechy opening to it. performance was terrible, i used like 10 sprays and even on clothes it doesnt last. zero projection and lasted me around 1-2 hours max.”
“First of all for the price the quality of the fragrance is amazing, smells around 90% of DHI and not synthetic even when I first opened it. However, I'm sooooo disappointed as I may have a horrible batch because the performance on my skin barely reaches an 1hr, with me needing to spray like 20 times to even get an ounce of projection. I've bought my bottle in 2024 with more than enough time for maceration, maybe I just got unlucky with the batch... overall - 5/10 the performance really killed this fragrance for me not matter the cost.”
“If you want to smell that lipsticky powdery DNA then you must get this for your collection. Great clone of DHI. Before macerating, the performance wasn’t great but now it’s really intense (see what I did there?). Every time I’ve worn this I’ve received compliments. £20 approx. Insane for the performance and the scent similarity. Deserves more hype. 9PM and liquid Brun level hype.”
