Just Married

Scent Breakdown

Just Married opens with a blast of bitter orange. The peach and freesia are present, yet muted, lacking the brightness of Lanvin's Marry Me. A slight synthetic tang is detectable, a common trade-off in clones. The heart attempts the original's floral bouquet. Jasmine and magnolia emerge first, though they lean slightly soapy. The rose is a whisper, not a bloom. The base consists of a clean musk, a somewhat dry cedar, and a sweet amber accord. The dry down is where the clone deviates most. It loses the effervescence of the original, becoming a more straightforward sweet-woody scent. Overall, it captures about 86% of Marry Me's DNA.

The Performance Stats

Longevity is moderate. Expect around 4-5 hours on skin, with projection strongest in the first hour. After that, it settles closer to the body, forming a subtle skin scent. Respraying is definitely necessary to extend its presence.

Is it Worth It?

Just Married offers a reasonable alternative to Marry Me. The synthetic edges are noticeable upon close inspection, but are unlikely to bother casual wearers. If you love the original's scent profile but can't justify the higher price tag, this is a viable option. This is a good everyday wear, especially for those new to fragrance.
