i was nervous about the comparison to the original but it holds up. the opening is a bit sharp for the first 5 minutes but the Amber drydown is magical. safe to say this is going to be a permanent part of my collection.

first proper Oriental Floral dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. had my partner smell both side by side and they couldn't tell which was which. a no-brainer 5 star from me.
