Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
How it Smells
Marshmallow Addiction starts with a citrusy punch, but it's less the sun-drenched Italian groves of K by Dolce & Gabbana and more like a concentrated juice box. The blood orange is there, but feels a bit synthetic. The heart attempts a similar aromatic profile with geranium and lavender, though it lacks the smooth, herbal depth of the original. As it dries, you get that familiar woody base, but the patchouli leans a touch sharper, less refined. It's maybe 83% similar to K, capturing the overall vibe but missing the finer details.
Projection Power
Okay, let's be real. This isn't a powerhouse. You'll get about 4 hours of noticeable projection before it sits close to the skin. After 6 hours, it’s practically a ghost. Perfect for a quick errand or a casual daytime hang, but don't expect it to last through a date night.
To Buy or Not to Buy?
If you're after the Dolce & Gabbana "K" experience on a shoestring budget, Marshmallow Addiction scratches the itch. It’s for the younger guy, maybe a student, who wants to smell put-together without breaking the bank. But if you're just looking for a fleeting impression of that woody citrus vibe, this clone gets the job done. Just reapply often.
