Option Review:13ml Spray I don't own the original, and I don't know it deeply and completely as a nose or a forever fan would do. I only tested it a few times and was a love at the first sniff. So, imagine my surprise and pleasure when I check it out on Parlour and found out they have a version of Absinth. Now, my only regret is that I bought the 13ml Spray only... I wasn't sure they made it right.
But man, it is right as I remember the original. Of course, I don't expect it to be completely the same, and as I said, a nose or a connoisseur will surely spot some differences. But for me, a new fan of Nasomatto house, and for the rest of us who care more for the overall perfume vibe than a note by note, accord by accord comparison, this is a great dupe.
It is aromatic, woody, spicy, green, fresh but warm, and sweet in the beginning... I only can pick up the aromatic greens, the fresh spices, the vetiver and the cedar wood, I don't get the wormwood. But this is happening to me with the original too, and I do know the wormwood smell, I had it in my garden for a long time.
A great dupe for sure. I don't know the longevity yet, but I will get back with a later edit. Now it is three hours after spraying it, and I feel it quite strongly.
In conclusion, a great aromatic perfume, a very unique scent, however, a pretty safe blind buy for the ones who love the genre...
Option Review:13ml Spray A very nice fragrance, pretty close to Lira. And it lasts and lasts, and after 10 hours I still get to smell it when I move my head (spayed only on the skin, not on the clothes).
Option Review:3ml Roll On I couldn't smell any peach ....just a nice smokey perfume....I wore it all day at work and only one person commented on it but all she said was that it was strong....I've got plenty of P P perfumes that are smokey that other people like so I won't be buying this again
Option Review:13ml Spray Comparing side by side with the original, the PP version is quite different on the opening, not as complex and in general much less smooth than the TF version. Both have a slight reminiscence of toilet cleaner and this is slightly stronger in the PP version.
On the dry down however they are 90% the same and only side by side could you really tell the difference. The TF version last about 4 hours on my skin, I get slightly better performance from the PP one. Amazing value given how expensive the original is!
Option Review:13ml Spray This is the best scent that I've tried from PP so far, it is very close to the original. Once you forget that you are wearing it you will get a sweet and warm waft of it. Perfect fragrance for colder days.
Option Review:50ml Spray The original is an amazing scent which combines citrus freshness with floral notes right from the opening through the dry down but unfortunately PP version is off a bit, the notes are a bit disoriented and not very well blended. My wife loves D&G Light Blue line, that's why I bought this for her, she was not so happy with this scent. I am waiting for it to macerate hopefully that will make it better and I will update my review .
Option Review:13ml Spray This is very much like the original, I would say 95% identical and I would only be able to tell the difference side by side-testing, and I don't think I'd even be able to say which one was which if I didn't know beforehand, just that there were some differences to the fragrances.
It's a very beautiful fragrance that really doesn't smell like anything else. I'd say it's perfectly unisex, maybe slightlyyy more feminine but I'm a guy and I would rock it. Raspberry and leather but comparisons to Tuscan Leather is not really applicable, it's an extremely different take on it
Option Review:30ml Spray I don't know what to think about this one. I blind-bought it based on the reviews here and of the original on Fragrantica (I don't know the original). And I regret... Maybe it has to macerate, however to me, it's nothing special nor unique. It's like when, thanks to PP and all the other clone houses, one has so many perfumes, great ones, some out of this world, it's a lost time to wear something indefinite like this. When you have the chance to smell great, don't just settle for the ordinary. But again, maybe is just me, my skin or not a good batch/not macerated enough.
Option Review:13ml Spray The opening has something different from the original, but when it settle it becomes really close but still a little different. But in a good way. I think people could also not distinguish it one from the other, but if you have both you can. And you can for sure also prefer this one and not the original "just because is the original".
By the way, it's very good. Really.
Like the original, if you spray it on the cloths, it stays "forever".
