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
Weak, watery, vanishingly small projection and sillage. Maybe I got a bad batch? Disappointed. By far the least persuasive of the 40+ PP oils I have bought so far - most of which have been fabulous.
Brilliant copy smells exactly the same as Amouage’s. Although nowhere near as strong and as long lasting. I’ve just realised PP do beast mode versions of their copies. I wished I bought one of those now as if that one is as strong as the original then this would be a perfect copy at a fraction of the price. Well done again PP.
An excellent reproduction of the original. This has become my casual spring/summer everyday go-to. Can be worn as a gym scent or for general daytime use. A decent, unpretentious aquatic/green/floral which will not offend anyone and at this price point what is not to like?

Pretty good dupe. But missing a bit of the citrus freshness and sophistication of the Original. Shame but good overall.
Scintillating 0413
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.

Similar to Egoiste Platinum, this is a very easy to wear spring fougere. Great job, PP!
