Bright Peach

The Verdict

Bright Peach is a solid option if you're curious about the Bitter Peach profile but balk at the Tom Ford price tag. Is it a perfect dupe? No. It's got a synthetic edge and lacks the complexity of the original. However, at maybe a tenth of the cost, it delivers a very similar vibe. If you're a die-hard Bitter Peach fan, you might be disappointed. But if you're budget-conscious and looking for a fun, fruity, and slightly boozy scent for everyday wear, this is a worthwhile gamble.

First Impressions & Dry Down

Bright Peach bursts open with a candied peach note. It's juicy, yes, but noticeably more synthetic than Tom Ford's Bitter Peach. Think peach gummy rings, not a perfectly ripe fruit. The blood orange adds a zesty tang, trying its best to cut through the sweetness. The boozy heart is where it diverges the most. The rum and cognac notes are present, but lighter, less refined. It’s missing the smooth, almost chocolatey depth of the original's boozy accord. The dry down leans heavily on vanilla and patchouli. It's pleasant, even cozy, but it loses some of that distinctive bitter edge. I'd say it captures around 91% of Bitter Peach’s DNA.

Wear time & Sillage

Longevity is surprisingly decent. I get about 5-6 hours on my skin. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then it settles closer to the skin. It won't fill a room, but you'll definitely get whiffs throughout the day. Not beast mode, but respectable point.
