What wearers say
“Duh this is a poor mans Coromandel. Not poor in quality though. This isn’t as dense and doesn’t last like Chanel’s but seriously it’s less than $70 for 60ml. It gets you in the ball park. I love how people expect a perfect dupe for cheap prices. There’s a reason Chanel charges so much, well besides greed, they use high quality ingredients. Much higher than a clone house would use. Rant over but it’s a (good) quality dupe for the price. I’m glad I found it.”
“WOW! Nice start with an amazing dry down. This is Neroli, Patchouli, sweetness from the white chocolate notes with an incense/amber dry down. The longevity and projection with this is in the average range. I would say this would work well for a date night. If you are a fan of Coromandel from Chanel this is right up your alley. Enjoy!”
“Fresh opening, dries down to a headache inducing rose, incense and heavy resinous smell. I personally dont like it. Smells like when you go to the dentist.”
