What wearers say
“It’s very pleasant to me, but unfortunately I’m reminded of a movie theater and I can’t figure out why.Edit: this has since grown on me and become very addicting. Still getting movie theater vibes, and still don’t know why, but I don’t even care anymore. It’s a bit linear in that the opening and drydown are the same, but it lasts quite a while and smells fantastic.”
“This is the best dupe of all time. I don't care if you like this DNA, the quality is niche. I have tried almost every popular dupe and this is the highest quality one. It's not an exact 1:1 but it's a strong masculine vanilla with more vanilla than the original making it BETTER. Yes, this is more cozy and BETTER than Babycat.I am a vanilla lover & this is beautiful. The suede & saffron is blended with the vanilla, the blend is truly niche level. I love it & if you love vanilla this is a must buy. A must buy.”
“Wow, warm spicy vanilla bomb.I normally go for fresh, fruity fragrances and this is definitely not in this category but it has something that has completely captivated me. I really like it.This lasts days on clothes and I do mean days. 24 hours on skin for me with 6 hours of projection. By far my strongest fragrance.”
