“This opening is so juicy and fruity. I think the note pyramid is leaving some things off. The OG has rhubarb, and that is present here. But I also get a heavy dose of pear. The bright, and juicy opening is why I got this perfume. I generally get the intense because I like to extend the longevity. This lasts for more than 6 hours and even longer as a skin scent.The dry down a smooth and round, I wouldn’t say it’s a gourmand. It seems more like a fruity floral.It does remind me of Born in Roma- Coral Fantasy on the opening, but that dry down is more vanilla.”
“Infinitely more gourmand than the original. Somehow smells just like an almond cookie; I’m surprised there’s no vanilla note, because that’s mostly what i smell. Honestly not even close to being long lasting or having any sort of projection at all. Lasts 2-4 hours and sits close to the skin. Other than the performance, the fragrance itself is amazing.”
“I get mainly jasmine and sandalwood! But don't find it more intense than the original; quite a lovely opening with good projection, but for me the original has the most beautiful drydown with the musk, which this one is missing...otherwise not bad, good aura!”

The clone features a heavier vanilla presence in the base compared to the original's more refined amber-sandalwood blend, and omits osmanthus entirely. Longevity and sillage are slightly reduced, making it a decent but noticeably less complex interpretation.
