first proper Amber Spicy dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. the composition is layered — top, heart, base all distinct. 10/10 would buy again.
- Ruby WilcoxVerified buyer
if the original ever gets reformulated, i'll just wear this instead. i get a full work day out of two sprays, which is more than i get from the Kilian Cherry Smoke (Nishane). 4 stars, would be 5 with better projection.
