What wearers say

“This was a blind buy from me and I'm not sure how I feel. I'll wait until winter to try it in cold weather before I decide whether we'll part ways. In summer it was almost insufferable, but it is interesting so I'd like to test it some more in autumn/winter.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“I tried this first is summer time and was too heavy for me. I tried again in the winter and I loved it. It’s not the typical and boring fragrance as most are lately. Very long lasting, also. Aura and this are sisters.”
A member of a leading fragrance community
“smells like licorice and patchouli at first sniff. then it begins to smell like chapstick and iris. not a huge fan, since it smells like a grandma's musky floral gourmand.”

Sillage

Dolores simplifies the base accord significantly, replacing orris and papyrus with standard musk, which reduces the sophisticated woody-powdery character. Longevity and sillage are typically softer than the original, with less skin scent projection and a shorter wear time.

Sillage

The clone lacks the original's spicy complexity and iris definition, leaning more toward a generic creamy-floral profile. Sillage is noticeably lighter, and the base develops less depth and persistence than the designer version.
