The Artist No. 2

“I don't know if it is because my bottle is new...but this last 3 hours max in my skin. Just one hour of mild-low projection. A shame because y love the scent profile. My bottle is new. I will let it sit for a few months to see if the performance gets better. But doubt it. If you like rose-oud combo and don't want to spend much money, go to swiss arabian.”

“First spray impression: Clearly needs some maturation after several blasts to let some oxygen in. I can see some potential, for now it's just OK because drydown is fine, although performance is not as expected. Will update my comment next month (and maybe my rating too).”

“Artist No. 2 is a commendable clone of Frederic Malle's The Moon, offering a striking resemblance at a fraction of the cost. While it doesn't match the original's strength, the scent captures the essence with its floral and woody notes. Ideal for those who appreciate subtlety, it's perfect for nighttime wear and casual settings. The bottle design is simple yet elegant. Overall, it's a solid choice, delivering quality that exceeds expectations given its price point.”
