What wearers say
“Smells like BR540 but heavier. For the price of the original I would say go with this one, I smell it on me throughout the day but I have not gotten any compliments. So not sure if it projects, I also own the perfume oil version from their sister company Oil Perfumery. Those are cheaper and for the hefty price of Oakcha you might as well go with the perfume oil in my opinion.”
“This scent profile has been done to death now.This is weaker than the original BR540, softer and more balanced than Ana Abiyedh Rouge, much nicer/less sweet than Cloud, quieter than the Fragrance World rip-off Barakkat Rouge, and isn’t as bombastic as Club de Nuit Untold.These dupes all miss the magnetic magic of the original. A faint imitation.It’s almost faded on me after 30 mins. It’s nice but it’s not worth buying for me personally.”
“I'm having the same issue now as a lot of people have commented. When I first got it, I LOVED it. It was sweet and pretty. It's been 6 months since purchase and it now has a predominantly plastic/new tire smell to it. Almost all the sweetness is lost and it's overall very faint and weak now. I would not recommend buying this one due to how quickly it went bad. I did not have that issue with the two others I bought from Oakcha.Edit- I read a review of someone saying the smelled medical and I couldn't put my finger on it but now I'm realizing this smells exactly like a dentist office!!!!”
