Feve Deliciouse Clones

"### First Impressions & Dry Down Frenetic Delicieuse opens with a recognizable, though slightly sharpened, interpretation of Feve Deliciouse. The lavender is present, but less plush, more angular. Bergamot offers a fleeting brightness. The mint note feels somewhat synthetic, a slightly jarring counterpoint to the smoother lavender in the Dior original. The heart introduces a tart cherry accord, surprisingly forward. While jasmine and freesia are listed, they act more as supporting players, softening the cherry's edge rather than blooming independently. The base is where Frenetic Delicieuse attempts to truly capture the Fève Delicieuse DNA. Tonka bean and vanilla are evident, providing the signature gourmand sweetness. However, the cacao pod lacks the depth and nuance of the original; it reads as a simpler, less refined chocolate note. Overall, it achieves about 91% similarity. The differences lie in the quality of ingredients and the blending finesse. ### Projection Power Longevity is moderate. On skin, I get approximately 5-6 hours of noticeable presence. Projection is initially strong for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. Expect a moderate sillage trail, noticeable within arm's length. ### The Verdict Frenetic Delicieuse offers a compelling alternative for those seeking the Feve Deliciouse experience on a budget. It's a solid clone, but not a perfect replica. The synthetic undertones are present, particularly in the mint and cacao, but they are not overwhelming. If you crave the core DNA of Feve Deliciouse and are willing to compromise slightly on ingredient quality, this is a worthwhile purchase. For the casual wearer, Frenetic Delicieuse provides significant value."
