Pros & Cons
- ✅ Ooh this genuinely sounds amazing ! Could become one of my favorite replicas yet <3
- ✅ I’ve been sitting with Lost Eden for about three weeks now, going back and forth between “this is the most interesting thing the Replica line has put out in years” and “who exactly asked for this.” The answer, I think, is somewhere uncomfortable in the middle — which is actually kind of where the best perfumes live.
- ✅ The heart is where this perfume actually lives... it gives the whole composition this humid, organic quality that I found genuinely beautiful.
- ✅ I wore this on a humid Tuesday morning in May and had two people ask what I was wearing within an hour.
- ❌ Lame.
- ❌ Will the smelling like food trend be over soon? These releases of sticky sweet fruit and sugary vanilla cupcakes is getting on my neeerves.. Where is the creativity?
- ❌ I absolutely love Gormand fragrances but they just had to add oud like not to mention apple fragrances arnt common n especially with it being such a common fruit but im kinda disappointed not its going to smell like a candied apple rubbed in the dirt and a tree fell on it
- ❌ The base is thin. After about three hours, the sandalwood and musk are doing their predictable quiet-hum-in-the-background thing, and most of the interesting tension from the heart has dissolved.
- ❌ Longevity is 4-6 hours on my skin, which is on the lower end for an EdT.
