What wearers say

“The opening smells like my elderly uncle, not bad, kinda nice, just not something I want to wear. This comes off as "typically male." The dry down has too much patchouli for my taste. Well blended, lavender woods and sweet patchouli. This was not made for me.Review of official boxed spray sample that came free with purchase.NOTEReminds me of Armani Code but with added patchouli.”

“Such gentle smoldering benzoin is like a pixie dust from fairy’s wings. Absolutely stunning warm and cozy perfume. Longevity and projection are ample. Perfect for fall and winter. Pure bliss.”

“Meharees - year created unknownMusc Ravageur - 2000 - RoucelL de Lolita Lempicka - 2006 - RoucelSo Menardo took the clove out and does not have cinnamon or vanilla listed as notes. My nose gets big wafts of those notes sooo... I can't say it's all that original but it does smell great! I am testing from a vial and so far I have got 6 hours from it with average sillage. The spicy/smoky notes are spot on and divine but the price tag is insane. I am on my second bottle of Meharees and have a bottle of the Lolita. Do yourself a favor and test those before purchasing this.”

Sillage

The clone performs well on longevity but projects slightly softer than the original. The main distinction lies in the base note composition—Fragrance World's interpretation leans more heavily on amber musk, whereas Guerlain's version maintains a more refined wood-centric base with better nuanced transitions between layers.
