“The batch variations w/ Sedley are all over the place. Original (best) was an addictive light literal sprite aroma w/ an airy iso-e/ cashmere dry down. Another batch was very strong & soapy. Another was off smelling synthetic. This last batch I sampled from was extremely musky/ rosemary-peppery. They all still Have that sprite scent within, but different aspects shine over that depending on the batch.I wish they never would’ve tampered with what was already perfect.”
“It smells like an expensive 🍋 lemon soap. Its good for a signature scent for office or school. Not cloying and doesn't give headache. Projection and longevity is perfect for school or office cause its not too strong. People will think you smell clean and lemony. Only smells like sprite in top notes.”
“I had originally bought the Alexandria dupe of this and loved it so I decided to get the real thing. I really do love the scent but it doesn’t last at all. I could barely smell it on my shirt an hour later. The dupe definitely lasts longer and is so close to the real thing that it’s honestly a better buy.”
