This dupe is for me one of the ones that comes closest to the original. However, it still doesn't smell exactly the same. At first spray, you don't even notice the difference that much. Only after wearing it for several days did it become clear to my nose that there is indeed a fine but enormous difference.
When wearing the dupe, some scent components crawl up into my nose that are different from the original. Somewhat alcoholic-chemical. I can't define it exactly.
I was really very excited at first, but no matter how many dupes I test, in the end they always smell slightly different from the original and eventually become somewhat negatively noticeable. And unfortunately, this is also the case with this one. First impression good, but after wearing it consistently for 1-2 days, you notice it quite clearly.
As for longevity, it doesn't last as long as the original. Nevertheless, the longevity for such a really inexpensive fragrance is still quite reasonable. I don't expect high longevity here. You can reapply it more often. This also brings us to the bottle, which is anything but pretty, but it fits perfectly in any handbag. You have to give it that.
Otherwise, there isn't much more to say.
My conclusion was: I will only buy the original from now on. For me, it is not a substitute. However, considered on its own, it is a nice little perfume that can be used well in everyday life. And I will definitely use up the bottle. But I wouldn't buy it again.
Nice comment! I feel the same way about dupes. Or really about very cheap fragrances. Bought quickly, forgotten quickly, and hardly worn. Looking back, I've wasted way more money on those than on my expensive ones. ;)
