- Manuel EatonVerified buyer
sampled it next to the original at a friend's place and had to double-check the bottle. smells like a lemon opening into a soft Elemi heart and a warm Guaiac wood drydown. strong 4, soft 5 depending on the day.
- Bobby MorrisonVerified buyer
i'm very picky with Citrus Aromatic and this one passed the test. compared to the original, the Mandarin orange opening is the closest part to my nose. absolute banger, already ordered a backup bottle.
- Marina AndersonVerified buyer
kept smelling my wrist for the first hour — the resemblance is that strong. the sillage is more refined than the original, more intimate but never weak. this is going in my top 3 rotation for sure.
- Sophia LauVerified buyer
i've been through three bottles of the original, so take this comparison seriously. it's that good. trust me.
