if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. you can really pick out the Mango and Orange blossom sitting on top of a Toffee base. highly recommend, this one's a keeper.
- Cara HermanVerified buyer
wore it on the first day, the opening already felt like the Frederic Malle The Night (Aoud Extraordinaire). the Cyclamen is the star here — it's creamy without being heavy. one of my favorite purchases this year.
- Jim PopeVerified buyer
if my bottle ran out tonight i'd order another one tomorrow morning.
- Maxwell DuffyVerified buyer
if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. a no-brainer 5 star from me.
