  • Cristina GoldbergVerified buyer

    4 stars — the sillage is a little soft for my taste but the smell is gorgeous.

  • James CannonVerified buyer

    skeptical of Aromatic Fougère dupes in general, this one changed my mind. had someone ask me what i was wearing at a bar — they were shocked when i told them. good, not great — i'll finish the bottle but probably won't repurchase.

  • Eva LauVerified buyer

    came back to update after a few months of wear. if the performance was a touch better i'd give it 5, but the scent is beautiful.

  • Walter McGeeVerified buyer

    wore it to an event and someone asked if it was the Chanel Boy. the sillage is intimate — more of a personal scent, which i actually love. wish it lasted a bit longer, but the scent itself is excellent.

  • Megan HicksVerified buyer

    wore it for a week straight, here's my honest take after 10+ wears. the more i wear it the more i love it. a new signature for me, no doubt.
