What wearers say

“I just bought this to my wife and I can't stop smelling on her! She has never tried it before and loves it. The projection and longevity are both very good, and the notes that we both get are pink pepper and Vanilla, however the dry down is all about the cotton candy.Projection: 9/10Scent: 9/10Longevity:9/10Overall: 9/10Its a fantastic fragrance!”

“For the past 3 years, I have had a client come in for her annual appointment and each time, I asked her what she was wearing. FINALLY I wrote it down and bought some. It smells EXACTLY as the title would suggest. Everyone compliments me, telling me I smell luxurious. My mom complimented me from across the table, so it has decent throw. Also, her compliment came the day AFTER i wore it (it lingered on my cardigan). So longlasting, which means a little goes a long way and justifies the price.”

“This is out of my league but smells amazing. I love it. This smells like perfume. And I love those which smell like perfume. Honestly I'm happy with this blind buy. I can see myself wearing it.Its a perfect floral scent. I won.I don't find it sweet. It is very very less sweet compared to the recent perfumes. it is fruity, but not sweet.This gives me some kind of nostalgia. Maybe my mom had similar perfume in the past.”

Sillage

The clone shows reduced gourmand character in the base with less prominent caramel and overall sweetness. Longevity and sillage projection are slightly lower, making this a solid everyday alternative but not a complete 1:1 replacement for the original's fuller performance.
