Top value for money. On my skin, it’s clear it doesn’t last long, but on clothes it lasts all day, which caught me by surprise. My advice: don’t skimp, use it to the fullest, especially on clothes.
Top value for money. Lasts a bit on my skin, but on clothes it’s a full tank all day. Caught me by surprise. My advice: be generous, especially with clothes.
A hidden gem! I picked it up at a super cheap Norwegian store. At first, it smells spicy, spiced, and mentholated. Then, before drying down, it’s fruity, sweet with a hint of cinnamon, and that unique spice touch. The dry down is the best part: sweet, woody, amber, and creamy—very inspired by the original but more intense. Lasts 4-5 hours, projects well for the first two, then leaves a sweet bubble around you. If you want it to last longer, carry it with you (or grab 10ml) to reapply every two or three hours, because the projection isn’t eternal. Smells 10/10 (spicy-mentholated at first, fruity-sweet with cinnamon and that unique spice before the end, and super sweet, woody, and amber at the end). Longevity: 6.7/10 (4-5 hours). Projection: 6/10 (moderate for the first two hours). Price: 10/10 (easy to find for $8). The only downside is it doesn’t last long or project much; it holds up in winter, but if you’re out for more than five hours, you need to reapply. It’s a clone of the original, especially in the dry down. Conclusion: Would I buy it again? Yes, absolutely, it’s one of the best fragrances for $8. Final note: 7.5/10. Recommended if you’re on a tight budget and like scents that evolve from spicy-mentholated to a sweet winter aroma.
A hidden gem! I bought it at a Norwegian store called ‘Normal’ where everything is super cheap. In the perfume section, I tried several until I stumbled upon this pearl. At first, it smells spicy, spiced, and minty. In the pre-dry phase, it’s fruity, sweet with a touch of cinnamon, but keeps that unique spice. The best part is the dry down: sweet, woody, amber, and very inspired by the original ‘Stronger With You’, but even sweeter and woodier. Lasts 4-5 hours; projects well for the first 1-2 hours, then leaves a sweet, pleasant personal bubble. If you want it to project all day, I recommend carrying it with you (or having about 10ml) to reapply every 2-3 hours, because the projection isn’t super durable. Aroma: 10/10 (spicy-mentholated at first, fruity-sweet with cinnamon and that unique spice in the pre-dry phase, and super sweet, woody, amber, and creamy in the dry down). Longevity: 6.7/10 (4-5 hours). Sillage: 6/10 (moderate projection for the first 1-2 hours). Value: 10/10 (easy to buy for $8). The only flaws are longevity and projection aren’t huge. It projects in winter as it should, but doesn’t last long and needs reapplication if you’re out for more than 5 hours. Plus, it’s a clone of ‘Stronger With You’, especially in the dry down. Conclusion: Would I buy it again? Yes, absolutely, it’s one of the best fragrances for its $8 price. Final note: 7.5/10. Recommended if you’re on a tight budget and like spicy-mentholated scents that evolve into sweet winter fragrances.
