    A beautiful deep and warm wood scent that lingers for ages. Unisex. Certainly a new favourite and a definite re-buy.

    evalien August 22, 2020

    I tested the original at the shop and got this oil to find out if splurging on a whole FM bottle would be worth it. I find it too classic and flowery for me alas. The original lasted over a week on a testing strip (insane). On my skin this oil lasts about 4 hours.

    What a great surprise this one was! I’ve never smelt the original, but gave this a go due to the good reviews. Delightful, fresh but inviting scent that is pretty hard for me to describe, but kind of soft fruity-aquatic. It smells really unique to me. Though not a ‘loud’ fragrance it is quite persistent and gives gentle whiffs for a good while. It’s one of the cheaper frags at PP so I’m happy to apply liberally, and will definitely order more. Perfect summer scent.

    MSG August 22, 2020

    Probably the best I’ve tried so far from PP (though African Art is a very close second). I have a carded sample of Oud Satin Mood, and this is very, very close ‘in the air’. Smelt up close, as is often the case with these types of frags, it doesn’t smell exactly the same, but the sillage is super close. It is slightly less gritty/harsh than the original, and I actually prefer that. Longevity is ridiculous and projection beastly. Some may find it a bit on the feminine side, but trust me, in a crisp white shirt you’ll be quite the dandy! Lol Unique, seductive and powerful. The price value proposition with this one is unbeatable ✌🏻

    v.gillespie58 August 22, 2020

    I am confused by some of these reviews because this smells very little like Kenzo Amour. There is some similarity on first spray, but smelling them side by side on skin, this has none of the rich, creamy vanilla sweetness of the original. The scent is quite weak and has a strange savoury note to it. Not a good substitute unfortunately.

    My all time fav. The oil lasts longer than the spray. I prefer this than the original, it seems stronger than original. Love it, on repeat orders

    I own the oil version of the inspiration and love it. However, this is a more than acceptable version. The lemon seems a bit more prominent at the start, but is enjoyable and the feeling is so similar that I am happy to swap to this one.
