i've been through three bottles of the original, so take this comparison seriously. would be 5 if the Musk was just slightly more prominent in the drydown.
- Scarlett LebedevVerified buyer
first proper Fougère Aromatic dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. on first spray i wasn't sold, but 20 minutes in it's a completely different (better) fragrance. highly recommend, this one's a keeper.
- Louis OrtizVerified buyer
wore it on the first day, the opening already felt like the original. feels like a refined extrait when you smell it up close. if you like the original, you'll love this.
