“Some people like drydown...I honestly was hoping it will stay on opening. Opening its very lovely sweet green apple. Littlebit of boozeness gin type of vibe.On drydown you can slighlty smell burning oak and moss which i think doesnt fit to this fregnance. Booze from opening is still there less of apple and small hints of pinapple which somehow saving this perfume. Overall i like it. (I hate angel share)Not lasting long for a price point. Littlebit disappointing drydown. It fainting fairly quickly and dont maintain best notes from opening.”
“This fragrance smells like you’ve poured a sugary and slightly tart smelling cocktail over a freshly picked green apple. Very vibrant opening, with the dry down revealing a dryer touch of crisp cedar and ambroxan, which provides a musky feel. It does remind me of a more unisex and boozy version of PDM Layton.It’s quite nice and appealing, but I fail to see the price as justified. Performance is also not impressive in terms of sillage or longevity.”
“My absolute favorite scent I have in my collection. Amazing realistic apple scent and smells very fancy and sophisticated. Only downsides are the price, longevity, and sillage. I got it for 225€ (200€ with tax refund because I was on vacation) and for the price its not really the best performing lasts maybe like 6-7 hours and the sillage is not very good. Overall still an amazing scent 10/10.”

Sillage
The clone performs adequately in longevity but falls short on sillage and depth, with noticeably less labdanum richness in the base. The heart notes are simplified, resulting in a more straightforward apple-brandy profile rather than the original's nuanced spice integration.

Sillage
The clone amplifies the apple-spice pastry aspect at the expense of the original's brandy bite and structural complexity. Longevity and sillage are slightly less prominent in the clone, with a softer projection overall.
