Feast

How it Smells

Feast by Dubai Essences goes for the cotton-candy sweetness of Fantasy, and hits about 90% of the mark. The opening is a fruity blast – kiwi and litchi are definitely there, but with a sharper, slightly more synthetic edge than the original. The heart leans hard into the white chocolate cupcake accord. It's sweet, bordering on cloying, and lacks some of the creamy depth you find in Fantasy. The drydown is a powdery musk with a hint of generic woods. It's pleasant enough, but less distinctive than the original's smoother base.

Is it Worth It?

If you crave the sugary sweetness of Fantasy but can't justify the price (or want a guilt-free everyday option), Feast is a decent choice. It’s not a perfect replica; the synthetic quality is noticeable, and the drydown is simpler. But, it scratches the itch. If Fantasy is $80 and this is $10, the original is better, but not 8x better. Teens and those on a tight budget will appreciate this.

Longevity & Projection

This isn’t a room filler, but it projects nicely for the first hour. Expect about 4-5 hours of noticeable wear. After that, it becomes a skin scent. it’s acceptable. Don't expect all-day performance from a budget clone.
