What wearers say
“I have worn this side by side for several days with L'Exclusif on one arm, Icon on the other. It is clearly a dupe, very good one in it's own right but still quite different.I don't get much smoke from either, but when compared directly side by side the smoke in the original pops clearly. The OG is sweeter as well and that sweet, flowery note lasts throughout the drydown, where the Icon gets more dry, pencil shaving in the drydown.Performance wise it's 3 sprays to match the 1 of tge OG.Great piece from Khadlaj, if you like any BDC, you will like this one!”
“So first impressions, there is a very prominent citrus. On the box it says bergamot as the top note. That stays for a while and the dry down isn’t really as BDC as it intended. Has a soapy feel as well, similar to a sauvage. Maybe after maturing it’ll get better, will keep yall posted.”
“I'll keep this short as I find this to be very uninspiring.Had this for a couple months now, I really tried to like it, but unfortunately I've finally decided to sell my bottle. That lavender-labdanum scent is too spicy and sharp to my nose. I don't understand the summer votes here at all, I can't imagine wearing this above 20c weather. Too spicy for my liking.⛔️Unfortunate.”
