Ahuja Pour Femme

This perfume is so beautiful. Smells very unique to me and it lasts for a long time. I bought this because I wanted something beautiful that other people could smell and would last a long time. This is amazing and does the job perfectly. I am an over sprayer and worried that this was going to be super strong. There was no problem when I sprayed (up close) about 10 times. I sprayed my Neck (4 times), my arms (3 times), and my legs (2 or more times). My husband says I smell sweet but I think its not as sweet as I'd like it to smell. But still my absolute favorite perfume. I recommend this for some one looking to smell nice all day. I'm not sure how this perfume would perform in an office setting or elevator situation. Definitely does leave a nice trail that doesn't last for ages, just softly follows you around.

My wife has worn LVEB for as long as I've known her. She started off with regular LVEB, then went to Elixir, tried LVEB Rose (which I didn't like), and settled on LVEB Iris Absolu (which has remarkable sillage and enormous projection). This scent leans into the iris and so is closest of the dupes to LVEB:IA. Clearly, it's not as strong and is only about 80% identical (it sacrifices much of the complexity - esp. in the opening). However, I sprayed two spritzes on some crumpled paper in the kitchen and walked away for two hours. When I came back I instantly smelled it (faint, unobtrusive, but noticeable) in our open-kitchen concept. I would say that makes this a gem for the price. My wife will have to adjust her spraying habits as she's used to doing 1-2 mists overhead; I suspect this will require 4-6 direct sprays. But since it's less than 1/12th the price per mL, it's something we can live with.

This smells like a lighter, somewhat fresher version of La Vie Est Belle. Not bad. People who like that scent but find it too cloying would like this.
