What wearers say
“So the rumors are true - this is, indeed, a dupe for Prada Paradoxe. And once you get past the alcoholic opening (give it 5-6 min) it is actually pretty good. The longevity is far from the OG but it is still pretty decent - I get 4-5 hours, but hey, I paid 11 EUR for 90 ml, it is more than worth the money.I just wish they made a small 30 ml bottle so I can carry it around and reapply.”
“I instantly fell in love with this because it is 100% dupe of Golden Rule by PHLUR. It does not project or last as long as GR but they are identical in smell. I am obsessed with GR so the moment I sprayed Vibrant Caramel I knew I had to have it. It’s stunning. If you like this but want it to last, get GOLDEN RULE BY PHLUR!!”
“smells like straight maple syrup and that synthetic vanilla which is not bad but very in your face (like that one bath and body works warm vanilla). im not saying its bad but not something i would like to smell like; maybe a candle version of it would smell would be amazing. i dont smell the citrus at all but if you want to smell like a buttery syrupy pancake this is perfect for you.”
