What wearers say
“I loved this one, but found it lacked longevity, projection and decent sillage. I agree that Al Rehab; Golden Sand is a good dupe for this and have recently stumbled across Sunnamusk; Golden Dust, which is not only a great dupe for this, but has beast mode projection, lasting power (days on a sample card) and sillage.”
“I have waited a while to buy, it is a nice vanilla scent but not much sillage for me.I couldnt smell it for long on myself.nice bottle.5/10update: the longevity is in the dry down.the scent changes so much after many hours.The drydown is really different, I can't stress that enough.Put more on for sillage, put it on the night before if at all possible and top up in the morning.In the drydown i can smell the labdanum. give this a second chance.”
“Vanilla and woodsy notes with a fleeting hint of Musk .Coconut is not listed as note , but sure could beIt's rich and creamy and the dry down is lovely and not a typical MK scent to me.I purchased mine on sale and I really like it but still find it to be overpriced especially that the sillage and longevity are just fair .”
