What wearers say

“I think it's so funny that this one got all the hype that it did. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice smell! But it's very similar to both Prada paradoxe and Mugler alien goddess. Super super similar notes for much less of a price point. I would say this one is probably more similar to alien goddess because of the syrupy quality to it. Definitely not bad, but not unique at all.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“It's a lovely fragrance. I love how it smells when I first put it on, but it does not last at all on me. Three hours later, I have to press my nose to my skin to smell it. I do not normally have a problem with fragrance not lasting on me. I am so glad that I tried a small size first. It's a gorgeous scent, but I can't justify its price tag for the poor performance on my skin.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I got a dupe, so maybe it´s not close to the original? Not sure, but it smells like orange, and not in a good way. I just smell old lady perfume. It's very strong and lasts forever. But I was expecting so much more. Maybe it's just not for me.”

Moderate to Strong

Sillage

Ansaam Gold's base is warmer and slightly more linear due to amber prominence versus Kilian's balanced musk-vanilla drydown. The clone also has marginally shorter longevity (6-7 hours vs 8-9 hours) and slightly softer projection.
