Very helpful Review
Does there need to be another BR clone? Yes!
Today I happened to look for whether Caline - after I was particularly excited about the le Male dupe - has new dupes that I can test; and lo and behold: another BR dupe. I already have a BR dupe from an Arab brand, but this dupe was significantly more expensive, allowing me to compare the two. I immediately ran to DM and found it :)
At first glance, the BR DNA is immediately noticeable in Belle Icone. Some fragrances are now truly able to copy the DNA almost 100 percent. This scent comes close, although the strawberry note is a bit stronger than in the original and in my Arab dupe, making the fragrance actually appear a bit more feminine. (This is how it is marketed.) However, the longevity and sillage are neither as strong as the original nor as the slightly weaker Arab fragrances. Still, I am again shocked that Caline manages to offer such an expensive scent at such a low price. WOW!

I don't know the original scent, but for me, it was love at first spray. I grabbed another one for backup; the longevity is great!

Thanks to your positive review, I gave a BR540 dupe another shot and I don't regret it. I have some issues with the original, but not here-this is becoming one of my favorite scents. The strawberry makes it a bit more feminine and more wearable for me.

I also think it's absolutely great that this fragrance can be offered at such a low price. I feel much less bad watching the level go down than with a perfume that costs €250.

I also find it very well done. I wouldn't wear the original often enough to buy it, so this is a really great alternative :)
