What wearers say
“So nice, have to over apply for it to last to the dry down which is gorgeous , warm, vanilla, a little powder.Very good price point but the compromise is to over apply a bit and wait. The reward is worth it though. One of the best Korres fragrances currently available.”
“I'm obsessed with cashmere and Jasmin mix so I love this! Much more softer and warmer version of Alien. Cosy like your favourite sweater but elegant. Like an expensive night cream. Very long lasting and projects nice. I didn't expect such performance for the price.”
“I am OBSESSED with this, oh my god. This is Alien, but with every issue I had fixed. Seriously, it's like the perfume gods heard my pleas and answered them. It is all white floral, warm cashmere, and a burst of citrus at the beginning. I am a big fan of Alien so when I saw people saying this was similar, I was a little wary. This is 10000% better for me though, considering that this is lighter and a little fruitier, while still projecting enough to get me compliments galore. I smell like I'm your cool, mysterious neighbor who has orange trees and sunbathes in the backyard.”
