skeptical of Woody Aromatic dupes in general, this one changed my mind. after 6 hours the Cade is still there, just sitting on skin beautifully. absolute banger, already ordered a backup bottle.
- Harper DanielVerified buyer
i own both this and the original, and honestly this is scary close. doesn't have the screechy alcohol blast that you get with a lot of alternatives. 4 stars — the sillage is a little soft for my taste but the smell is gorgeous.
