What wearers say

“so pretty! A sweet floral opening cut with the slight tart of citrus and currant with an almost smoky, earthy undertone. It would be my favorite / signature if only it lasted longer. Opening sillage is impressive and beautiful, but it almost entirely fades on me after 30 minutes or even less. Side note, reminds me of the Chloe l'eau de parfum intense.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“The opening is explosive and super sweet, on my skin it smells straight up just like a very ripe peach, in a very pleasant way. Then the rose arrives, reminding me of Up at Dawn, but more syrupy instead of wet, still having some earthy notes in the last hours. Pretty good scent, mediocre longevity and sillage, which will not stop me from keep enjoying it.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“i actually quite enjoy this fragrance! it’s subtlety sweet on the skin, i get nodes of grape candy and as it’s worn longer you can smell the florals. i do wish the projection was a bit better and the longevity was better for it’s price point. but i love it it’s one of my spring essentials!”

Sillage

The clone performs adequately in the opening but drops off in longevity and projection compared to the original. The base notes feel more synthetic and less nuanced, missing the delicate interplay between musk and sandalwood that gives 'On a Date' its signature elegance.

Sillage

The clone matches the top and middle notes closely but lacks the creamy, well-blended base that gives the original its sophisticated dry-down. Longevity and sillage are noticeably more modest on the clone.
