okay this is one of the most accurate formulas of the original i've smelled. soft sillage that just lingers on your own skin, perfect for close settings. a new signature for me, no doubt.
- Henrik KhanVerified buyer
skeptical of Amber Spicy dupes in general, this one changed my mind. very close to a 5 for me, just doesn't quite hit that signature note.
- Joanna FosterVerified buyer
came back to update after a few months of wear. i've already recommended it to half my friends.

first proper Amber Spicy dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. i get compliments without even trying, which is rare for me. absolute banger, already ordered a backup bottle.
