Option Review:13ml Spray Straight to the facts, you wanna know how close is this to the OG yeah? Don't know about the other reviews but this is so close it's not even funny.
I recently purchased a full 100ml bottle of the OG on a discount - batch 2021. I wore them side by side, tried to apply as equally as possible to be fair.
After maybe 2 minutes, in the air, you cannot tell the difference (well my gf can but she is special in that way).
I would compare this to let's say 2 jars of gerkins: one jar matured for 1 month and the other for 3 months. That's how it would smell, like the OG is just a tad bit more creamier, more long lasting a bit, more full and rounded scent, and more expensive a bit. Just joking, it's more than a bit :)) This difference can only be felt in the drydown after many hours ~6hrs, when the PP is barely there and the OG is still a creamy concentrated smell.
PP came so close with this one, that now I have been put in a dillema. Should I sell my OG bottle (the scent is like a love hate love, and I am at the hate stage right now, maybe in the winter it will change), maybe keep 10ml for special occasions or sell half and diminish my losses and keep the bottle (it's a pretty bottle).
One thing is for sure, the scent is so close it is redundant (pointless) to keep both, and for the price performance, I know I'm sticking with PP.

Option Review:13ml Spray This smells really close to the OG. The only difference is, this is a little bit more wearable than that. When I first tested Bergamask I hated that it was so strong and even my gf commented I should never wear this when together (maybe my fault since I used the whole 1ml of sample). I still love the scent but not the power that it has. So this is a perfect replacement, I got the EDP, the OG is extrait. I'm guessing if you want to be a little closer to the OG, you buy the extract. Longevity is goos with this one, like all PP clones of OP. Good that I didn't pounce on the OG, I would feel such a fool for wasting money.

Option Review:13ml Spray I have to be honest, after 2 minutes the only way to distinguish this from the OG, is having them smell side by side, and even then it's very hard.
I am not joking, if I would be blindfolded I would have a hard time discerning which is which.
Don't know about the other reviews, maybe PP worked on the formula more but, this is as close as you can get to the OG, I was shocked and for this price it's a steal.
Now I'm faced with the dilemma of returning the OG I just bought on discount, sell half to minimise my losses or keep it to have both.
In the end I want to mention that the only reason I have bought the OG is because my partner can tell the difference between them (a thing I cannot do) and she appreciates the drydown of the OG better (and ofc the discounted offer).
To my nose, it is 99% the same scent, I don't think I can keep the OG knowing this. If it would of been more animalic, I think I would keep both and combine them, but as it stands, I see no reason to have both.

Option Review:13ml Spray Initial impressions: very weak scent. Sprayed 2 times on my hand and after 2 hours it was gone. It doesn.t lift up of my arm, doesn.t project, I don.t know what it.s wrong. I ordered 16 PP sprays I believe, the others performed like crazy, this is the only let down from the bunch. I will spray it a bit and let it macerate for maybe 1 month and come back to it, I hope it will change.

Option Review:13ml Spray At first was upset that I didn.t order the extrait, like the OG Megamare. Gave it a shot when it arrived tho, and it is still projecting from my arm, where I sprayed 12 hours ago. Ok, EDP was a great call on this. I.m afraid for the people that ordered the extrait :-S
