βI've had a dupe of this is her from zag zodiac which is amazing, pretty soft opening like in the original, but doesn't last more than 4 hours. This one opens very harsh, but the dry down is 90% similar to Zadig's. Super gentle, innocent, creamy, woody, floral a bit on the sweeter side. The Zag Zodiac dupe has a citrus note that I know is not present in the OG but I actually really like and prefer. Overall its a great gentle parfume and its amazing for layering.β
βCreamy floral woody. A bit too sweet and benzoin heavy on opening, but smooth and pretty after that. Contrary of what others are saying, it's gone within one hour, and even before that it's pretty much a skin scent on me. Would have quite liked it otherwise!Edit: I can't find Z&V here, but I've tested it next to the Zara dupe. They are obviously copying the same thing, but Diwani is way better; smoother, creamier, more luxurious.β
βIβd stick to Zaraβs FANF & maybe the original This is Her. This is a dried up, aged version of the two. Struggling to enjoy it & Iβm a die-hard fan of the original.β
