No. K260

First Impressions & Dry Down

No. K260 by Loris is aiming for Pi by Givenchy, and it lands… pretty close. The opening is a blast of sweet mandarin, like the original, but there's a slightly sharper, almost pine-like edge from the rosemary and tarragon that's more pronounced here. It settles down quickly. The heart brings in that signature anise and neroli combo, but the neroli feels a touch more synthetic than in Pi. The drydown is where it really shines, a smooth vanilla almond hug. I'd say it's 90% similar. The biggest difference is a slightly rougher opening and a less refined neroli.

Conclusion

If you love Pi but don't want to shell out the money, No. K260 is a solid option. It’s a great daily driver. Perfect for cool weather. It’s not a 1:1 clone, but it captures the essence of Pi well enough. the slight synthetic edges are forgivable. If Pi is 10/10, this is 8/10. A good buy for those on a budget, but if you want the real deal, save up for the original.

The Performance Stats

This isn't a beast mode fragrance. I get about 5-6 hours of wear, which is decent . Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it sits closer to the skin. It's a safe office scent in that regard. Don't expect room-filling sillage.
