What wearers say
“LDBS has been an absolute favorite for over a decade, but I don't love the price point. Floral Marshmallow is the best inspired by fragrance I've found so far. It is slightly more citrus in the opening than the original, but the drydown is spot on. Longevity is great (5-6 hours on skin, 7+ on clothes), price point is amazing for the quality.If you love LDBS, but not the price tag,try this fragrance!”
“You cannot beat the OG LDBS. This one smells the similar, by similar I mean it smells like LDBS but dossier one has plastic-y smell in between it sheer scent, like watered down version of OG and add more alcohol. The service of the store in NY also not very welcoming and more like overwhelming in mean way. It lasts for about an hour before vanished completely in second hour, projecting just about arm’s length. Not worth it.”
“Amazing! It’s sweet, warm, addictive. Instant mood lifter. Sugared candy with an hint of sunny citrus. Excellent dupe for LDBS. I will say, this one has more Marshmellow vs orange blossom. The original has more orange blossom. It’s a minimal difference and I love them both. Longevity is excellent, I find this lasting up to 6-7 hours on myself and longer on clothes. Projection lasts 3-4 hours and then turns into more of an intimate scent.”
