“Initial spray is definetly grape soda. I hated it so much. I usually love honey florals, and considering the initio quality, i blind bought this with no hesitation. When i first sprayed it i was disgusted and regretted my buy instantly.. dry down is much better than the opening because opening of this is absolutely disgusting, drydown is much more tolerable. But i did not get the initio quality honey floral i imagined. I guess i’ll use it in winter and fall sometimes. And i can see a man using this it has a weird unisex side to it too.”
“I get vanilla honey notes with hint of sandalwood (not listed on notes tho?)Personally i think this is a grown up gourmand fragrance with beautiful notesSadly this one has moderate sillage, hence why i think this is kind of overpricedLast about 2-3h on me.I'm looking for honey scent with better longevity, anyone?”
“The opening is super super syrupy sweet honey I don’t think it’s cloying because it doesn’t last long enough but wow is it good the apple adds a nice fruity tartness to the sweet honey making this super delicious opening. The drydown is where it is Alien like with the sweet white flowers I think this has more depth and character because of the honey and apple while Alien is fairly one dimensional underrated Initio !”

Sillage
The clone provides comparable note structure but with reduced projection and a shorter lifespan; the honey and vanilla accords feel more muted compared to the designer version's richer, more pronounced sweetness.

Sillage
The clone exhibits slightly shorter longevity (5-6 hours vs. 7-8 hours) and marginally reduced sillage. The musk base note is noticeably less dominant, making the fragrance feel more vanilla-forward than the original's balanced composition.
