i've been through three bottles of the original, so take this comparison seriously. the opening is a bit sharp for the first 5 minutes but the Praline drydown is magical. it's that good. trust me.

tested a bunch of Amber Floral alternatives last month — this was the clear winner. the composition is layered — top, heart, base all distinct. very close to a 5 for me, just doesn't quite hit that signature note.

first time wearing this and it already smells like a proper Jo Malone London Velvet Rose & Oud reference. longevity is genuinely surprising — 8+ hours on skin, even longer on clothes. great buy, not perfect, but close.
