Our objective metric for performance per dollar.
Notes & Nuances
Morning Grasse opens with a burst of citrus – the blood orange and lemon are definitely there, with a bit of juniper adding a fresh, slightly bitter edge. It's a decent copy of K by Dolce & Gabbana's opening, maybe 84% similar. The heart leans heavily on the geranium and lavender, giving it that clean, aromatic feel. It's not as nuanced as the original; there's a slight synthetic quality to the floral notes, but it's not offensive. The drydown is where it deviates most. The patchouli and vetiver are present, but less prominent than in K, resulting in a softer, woodier finish.
Performance Reality Check
Longevity is acceptable . Expect around 4-5 hours of noticeable scent. Projection is moderate for the first hour, then settles closer to the skin. It's a "polite" fragrance, not a room-filler. Perfect for the office.
Is it Worth It?
Morning Grasse is a solid budget alternative to K by Dolce & Gabbana. It's not a perfect dupe; the synthetic edge and weaker drydown are noticeable. But for around $25, it's a great everyday scent. If you enjoy K's clean, citrusy, woody vibe but don't want to spend the money, this is a worthwhile option. Buy it if you want a dumb reach that is mass appealing.
