What wearers say
“I don’t find that it’s an exact copy for LDBS or Oriana! They’re both a lot more unique. This does have the sweet opening of Oriana but it’s not as nice- its more of a plastic orange smell, than a sweet grapefruit. On the drydown I definitely smell the similarities between this and LDBS. When it’s dry it also smells the same as rose marshmallow candy by Zara.”
“Zara's Barbie is what pink plushie unicorns smell like in the wild: cosmetic, powdery, feminine, slightly nostalgic... It reminds me of what Charmin toilet paper used to smell like in the 70's.Projection & silage are poor. But it's a guilty pleasure of mine and I'm on my second bottle.”
“LDBS? Don’t make me laugh. This smells more like pez candy than it smells like Killian.It’s not unpleasant, but it’s not great. It smells like pez and freshly opened plastic doll head.For my money I would prefer hanae mori butterfly for the doll head vibes.”
