What wearers say

“A beautiful Gem!!!!Simple yet sophisticated, a shiny and positive day in a bottle.At the opening fells a bit femmenine, inthe deep drydown some similarities with Rochas pour Homme, but richer in deep and complexity.Amazing long lasting and projection power, a truly must collector gem!!”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Gorgeous. Perfect for summer and the monsoons. No sharp notes at all. Quite feminine in my opinion. Husband used it too, and agreed it was more of a feminine scent.Gentle, fresh and alluring.Soft citrus, spices and a drydown that surprises you with it's delicacy. Dont think it can be offensive at all. And would suit all age groups, except teen's ofcourse.Very HARD TO FIND.P.S- Would appreciate any suggestions for a similar smelling parfum, this one is too hard to find.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“Nothing like it at all , charriol royal white and close only in the opening till 40 minutes, once it dry , gone far from life essence, honestly am so tired searching something close to it , till today nothing like it , its a historical distinguished one , still no maker did it well , Regarding alrehab one , its 70% only close , and there is also one exact duped bottle and packing same name exactly looking in design like it in gcc countries but/and close 85% with 3 hours weak performance. I hope it back some day .”

Sillage

The clone delivers solid performance in the top and heart notes but the base lacks some woody-green nuance and loses subtle aromatic complexity. Longevity and sillage are likely slightly reduced due to the simplified base structure.
