Nebras Lattafa Pride

i recently got a literally $5 dupe of eilish from a local discount store ("united scents delish" if you're interested!) and after falling in love with the scent (not so much the performance), i knew i wanted to commit to getting this since i've heard so much about it--especially since it was on sale for less than $30! it's exactly what i wanted--basically the same scent, just stronger, better performing, deeper, and sweeter. overall, it's still a very simple composition that has a clean, nostalgic quality to it in the opening with a sweet, vanilla and chocolate drydown. it reminds me a bit of sunscreen (maybe coppertone? not sure) but i normally hate sunscreen scents and i'm a fall/winter scent lover, so don't let that deter you because i still love this! it just gives it a slight cleanness that makes it a gourmand that's not too overwhelming, suitable for day-to-night wear. there are a few caveats with this though--even though the longevity on this is amazing, the projection is surprisingly subtle, although that might change with more maceration but it's been a while already. it also tends to leave a pretty significant oily residue when you apply, so be mindful of that. also, i ordered my bottle on amazon and personally, my cap arrived damaged. it still works fine but the inner piece slides out and has to be pushed back in after the perfume is opened.
