“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.”
“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.”
“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.
