Queen or bad girl?

I've wanted to write my opinion of Queen of Sheba before.
What always hindered me was the fact that I found an incredible amount of parallels with Good girl gone bad but never compared them directly. Until today! Fragrance pyramids are similar and actually I owe a review to bad girl because she was my companion for years.
Now I have betrayed her and pay homage to the Queen.
Before I write down here the experience of my nose must say one thing in advance.
It will be a comparison between the two scents. I just can't do it any other way. I love them both. Please be gracious.

The Queen of Sheba opens with Very ripe peach, strong osmathus. With GGGB, the peach is still too young, but juicier.

The ripe peach remains for quite a while until then very slowly and almost inconspicuously white flowers come to it, I can not exactly assign them, + something faintly sweet-vanilla, probably the tuberose that joins shortly before the end.
In GGGB, the floral is offensive, dominating over the sweet and staying on a wavelength with the osmantus.

To the end comes the vitiever. Notes from the incense and wood unite quite wonderfully with peaches. After about 3 hours is of the
Flowers no trace more.
With GGGB, the woody, which one expects at the end, is almost non-existent for my perception, a breath of nothing. Pfisrich and flowers give the wood no chance.
Sillage at GGGB is much more colorful.
Durability at GGG is better.

All in all, these are 2 fragrances that are siblings in the head and heart, but end up going down different paths.

Queen of Sheba is a great Oriental, Fruity-tart, with serious character, which unlike the GGGB does not go with jeans and sneakers.

Thanks for reading)
