So I loved this fragrance years ago due to its unique amber/vanilla sweetness blended into a nice almost citrus like woody base making it very gourmand and Uni-sex. Some other perfume parlour copies were very close to the original but this oil smells nothing like the original on me. All I get is a sour/floral mixed with Sandalwood on my skin. Maybe this mix just does not work on my skin chemistry. But this is the worst out of the 5 scents I bought here. May pass off to my Dad or someone who it works better on. My suggestion to improve this would be to take it in a tonka direction or more gourmand. Total miss atm for me.

Maybe this scent is not the easiest to reproduce. But I loved the original which has stayed tattooed in my brain and this is the closest I have smelled something to the original. It is very close but not a complete dupe sadly on my skin chemistry. In the beginning that amber banana note is very strong. Much stronger than original. When it dries down it does not gain that sophisticated muskyfresh complexity like the original. It dries down to a soapy vanilla type finish and is quite faint. I think the basics are covered here just the balance could be better, I am missing a bit of the freshness this had originally. Hence 3/5

Pretty good dupe. But missing a bit of the citrus freshness and sophistication of the Original. Shame but good overall.

Very good match. Not 100% maybe 90... very nice woody/floral. Out of the 5 I bought this so far has been the best match.
