What wearers say
“It's a soft, sweet, lactonic, almondy perfume. Cozy and easy to wear everyday. I may be wrong but it could be worn even in summer time (definitely at night but day also). Not cloying or heavy to me.Yes it is similar to Dior HP, but I would say it is more like the dry down of it.The quality is very good especially for the price.”
“I do not own HP, but it is my daughters signature fragrance and she says its a perfect dupe , I love it - without even knowing what HP smells like. It's long lasting and makes me feel cosy in these cold winter days at work. I'm trying to find the coconut but it escapes me, but I do get vanilla and tuberose. I like it very much.”
“Everyone is saying that it's a great dupe for Dior Hypnotic Posion but once you try original, you cannot go back.Dupe started to cause me headaches and the more I smelt it, the more unimpressed I was (It lowkey reminds me of a grandma perfume...)If you cannot afford original, this is a good substitute, but if you can afford Dior HP then I definitely recommend buying that.”
