What wearers say
“Very average light floral perfume. Shameful performance. Skin scent within 30 min. Anyone who thinks dupes or such cheap fragrances last more than 1h is clueless and delusional. Save your money, buy original designer or niche.. 1 proper designer that has real depth and quality is better than 5 useless hyped up perfume water with cheap fake ingredients.”
“This was a blind buy success.A few recommended it was similar CH cedar chic. And while I see what they are saying this to me is more citrus fresh .It's refreshing for a spring summer wear and the sillage is outstanding. My hubby came home from work 5 hours after I sprayed this and complimented how nice I smeltLayering : I was testing penhaligons duchess rose but instantly disliked it and quickly sprayed musk 01 ontop to mask it. However what I got was the most beautiful garden bouquet. Fresh cut flowers while sipping a lemonade .”
“At first sniff I wasn't sure if I had made a mistake but I became enamored with it. It it a beautiful perfume. Dare I say, a dupe for Memo Paris Sintra. Based on the notes list they are not, but I did a side by side comparison and I am taken aback. I think the tonka bean in Musk 01 renders it slightly creamer than Sintra. Both perfumes remind me of the simple syrup I make with Rose Water and Orange Blossom Water for Kanafeh. This perfume is delicious and more suited for Spring and Summer. For the price tag I think it’s ok to blind buy as I did.”
