What wearers say
“As others have stated, this is a dupe for Jo Malone's Myrrh & Tonka. Lovely scent but I'll also add that it is just as fleeting! My second favourite in this line.Edit: This has become my favourite in the line! It's just lovely in the winter, a smooth, sweet, clean scent. You do have to overspray to get any projection but at the price point, it's doable.”
“Compared this to my bottle of Jo Malone - Myrrh & Tonka and they smell very similar.This one starts off just sliiightly more feminine than Myrrh & Tonka.In the dry down they are very similar and very unisex.”
“I can't say exact but it has %95 simularity to Myrrh & Tonka of Jo Malone. Devastating longevity. I sprayed 2 times to my wrist after 1 and half hours later there was literally nothing. Even the original lasts way more longer, also, even though it's unisex i consider it as a male parfume rather than a unisex or female.”
