Pros & Cons
- ✅ soapy iris! i think this is lovely and it was a big hit with other people -- i got a lot of compliments wearing this :) gorgeous and gentle iris that begins in quite a clean way and then slowly blends with the skin to form a beautiful aldehydic musk. like a very luxurious hand cream.
- ✅ If you like smelling clean with a hint of musk, this is for you, I honestly love the cleanness of this perfume!
- ✅ Absolutely gorgeous! Bright, delicate and airy opening that dries down into a comforting musky second skin. So beautiful! Feels like open windows on a spring day, a gentle breeze stirring the curtains, clean linen on the bed and fresh flowers and fruit sitting on the dresser. I love this scent!
- ✅ This is one of the best skin scents I have ever tried. It is close to the skin but still present, not too soapy not too musky. Literally clear out-of-shower fresh scent!
- ✅ Another great clone in fact better and stronger than the original you can get my money anytime.
- ✅ One of my absolute favorites
- ✅ Feels like a warm unisex hug. Expertly and masterfully blended, this is a masterpiece and it’s 1:1 with the original. Perfect for everyday wear.
- ❌ This confirmed my hatred for aldehydes - they completely overwhelm and ruin this fragrance for me. Hopefully I'll have better luck with the edt because I do enjoy the dry down
- ❌ I am returning my bottle of this. For some reason this makes me feel absolutely nauseous and I can’t stand it! Which is a shame because I really liked it in the store
- ❌ It smells like nothing??? Am I high??? I can't smell anything! Not even it smells generic but it has no smell. And it's Eau de Parfum...more like a drop of perfume in a gallon of water.
- ❌ Opening is straight pickle brine.. I'm not sure where that is coming from but wow it was strong! Thankfully didn't last long. The dry down is much better. I can see the comparison to Glossier You but this is stronger in the opening and has more depth and is more powdery in the dry down. The pink pepper and ambergris are strong in the drydown as well and really all I get after about 2 hours 😔
- ❌ It smells like nothing??? Am I high??? I can't smell anything! Not even it smells generic but it has no smell. And it's Eau de Parfum...more like a drop of perfume in a gallon of water. If I concentrate, maybe I get a whiff of carrot... Or the idea of a carrot. Pour on enough and it smells like a dry generic soap bar, an imitation French dressing room. Boyfriend says, 'cardboard terps.' Maybe someone else has better luck?
- ❌ Nice spicy floral - The scent seems to be strictly white floral with the slickness coming out about an hour after spraying. Absolutely no chocolate detected here. There’s a slight cinnamon to it which is comforting with the bright floral. Comes off strong at first and seems to last all day. Not my favorite, but a good one for sure.
