What wearers say
“The hate on this fragrance feels so forced and it’s because it’s been hyped to be a dupe of $700 VP21.It is -similar- but it’s not a dupe.It is still a gorgeous warm ambry incencey spicy vanilla fragrance and the lasting power is insane too!I really love this and I wish people would see it for what it is and not what it has been hyped to be.”
“Opening isn't bad, it's the 10 mins later that gets you. There's some flower that overpowers the whole thing, and later it all smells like a melting plastic to me, very harsh, very artificial, lemon plastic. Nothing Maison Asrar did ever wow-ed me, his fragrance is soooo strong while being so mediocre or straight up bad. This? NOT a safe blind buy.”
“I’ve only tried the original once at the airport, and honestly, i'm telling you this one lasts longer. It has that same deep rich vanilla vibe, just a bit smoother. The longevity is actually stunning for the price.”
