Is it Worth It?

If you crave the quiet, skin-like elegance of Fleur de Peau but balk at the price, this is a solid alternative. It captures the essence, the clean, musky, slightly melancholic vibe.

How it Smells

This clone opens with a similar airy, almost soapy aldehyde lift as Fleur de Peau. The pink pepper is present, though perhaps a touch sharper, lacking the original's seamless integration. The heart moves quickly into a powdery iris that mimics Diptyque's signature. There's a definite carrot seed facet here too, earthy but clean. As it dries down, a comforting musk takes over, very similar to the ambrette-musk cloud of the original. It's about 80% there, but lacks some of the rounded, expensive feel of the real thing. A slight synthetic edge creeps in on the far dry down.

Longevity & Projection

Longevity is moderate. I get about 4-5 hours on skin with soft projection; this won't fill a room. On clothes, it lingers a bit longer, pushing past the 6-hour mark. It's a skin scent, designed for intimacy, not statement making.
