This is a powerhouse. It projects much better than the original and a few sprays go a LONG way - this coming from someone who can’t go without less than a dozen sprays at a time! The perfume is nutty, creamy, and kind of soapy (it works, trust me) with a warmth and depth that elevates it into something you could use on formal occasions and for evening wear. I would say it’s better suited to cooler weather, but it’s honestly wearable year round. So beautiful, and for gourmand lovers, it nails every requirement! Considering the price and the lasting power, I’d gladly repurchase. Kayali perfumes are creative and lovely but don’t last at all, so as a dupe, this is still a superior product.
