Sacrifice for Her

Olfactory Experience

Sacrifice for Her opens with a recognizable coconut water note. It's sweeter and slightly more candied than the original Alien Goddess's watery coconut, leaning more towards coconut flakes rather than the fresh fruit. The bergamot is present, adding a needed citrus counterpoint. The heart features a jasmine accord that's less indolic and more straightforward than Mugler's complex jasmine grandiflorum. The heliotrope brings a powdery almond facet. The base is where Sacrifice for Her noticeably deviates. The Bourbon vanilla is prominent and sweet, but the cashmeran is dialed up, giving it a slightly synthetic woodiness that the original avoids. It captures approximately 89% of Alien Goddess's DNA, but the differences are detectable upon close inspection.

Longevity & Projection

Longevity is moderate. I get around 5-6 hours on skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles closer to the skin. It's not a powerhouse, but it's adequate for daily wear.

To Buy or Not to Buy?

Sacrifice for Her is a respectable clone . The amplified cashmeran in the base is the main drawback, imparting a slightly rough edge. However, if you appreciate the general profile of Alien Goddess but find the original's price prohibitive, this is a worthy alternative. It's a safe blind buy if you enjoy sweet, coconut-vanilla fragrances.
