kept smelling my wrist for the first hour — the resemblance is that strong. lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin with moderate sillage. i'll be buying this for friends as gifts from now on.
- Antonio KochVerified buyer
skeptical of Chypre Floral dupes in general, this one changed my mind. a new signature for me, no doubt.
- Marc ValentineVerified buyer
had to leave a review because the resemblance is unreal. fine for casual days, wouldn't reach for it for special occasions.
- Tracy SharpVerified buyer
okay this is one of the most accurate Chanel Paris-Paris (Les Eaux) formulas i've smelled. great scent, modest performance — still 4/5 from me.
