What wearers say
“I really like this but it's missing the creamy vanilla in the dry down that the original has which I love and the sweetness that the raspberry also provides in the opening of the original as well. It does last longer and is stronger than the original.”
“Very similar to its sweet, delicate sister scent, Pour Femme EDP. The intense version is slightly woodier in the dry down but it retains the fluffy, sugary aspect of the original. Again, longevity and sillage are not strong points but I don't mind respraying when it smells this good.”
“I get the “plasticky” synthetic vibe others have mentioned. I also dislike this for its opening on my skin. There is ABSOLUTELY an overly animalic opening to this, someone else said “musty”…yes. Musty pungent start, and the dry down is pretty immediate to a skin scent that is a combo of mild neroli and marshmallow sticky undertones. Could be a good summer spray on some people, but as many times as I’ve tried, it’s not for me.”

Sillage
Armaf's version achieves strong note accuracy but lacks the sophisticated sandalwood transparency of the original, compensating with added musk for projection. Longevity is comparable, though the clone reads slightly sweeter and less elegant in the later stages.

Sillage
Dua's interpretation tends to emphasize the creamy marshmallow note more prominently than the original, potentially making it feel slightly sweeter. Longevity and projection may vary, with the clone often performing adequately but not matching the designer's sillage intensity.
