Boschetti Della Costa

So comparing the two side by side I would say Boschetti gets around 95% close to the original. The only real difference I can tell is the opening which Creed's JDA is brighter and a tad bit more natural. Granted the difference isn't huge and BDC doesn't smell synthetic or unnatural, but I think it's moreso the difference in concentration (BDC is extrait and thicker). Both Creed and Alexandria arent that great as far as longevity and projection is concerned, but Alexandria is ALOT cheaper pricewise where you can reapply. I get around 3-4 hours total longevity, and usually for me that's a no no even for a freshie. BUT this smells so good and is accurate enough of a 500 dollar fragrance that I can overlook that. Overall for the quality and price point BDC is a winner. Also in response to Chicago, this in NO WAY or form smells like eau sauvage, not even close.

I compared it with Creed Jardin d'Amalfi side by side on my skin. At the initial spray, they are not the same. 70% similar but they were different. However, 2-3 munites in, they were very similar. In 5 min., I couldn't tell wich was which. 50 min. after the spray, i noticed BDC is weaker than JdA and it continuously faded. After 2 hours i could detect the scent only with my nose a inch or 1.5 inch away from the skin while JdA was still going fine. I tried the both on my friend and the same result was in. However, taking the cost effectiveness into a consideration, BCD is totally worth it. I don't think I can afford or am crazy enough to spend $1000 on another 250ml scented water. However, there is a room for improvement in longevity. The longeivity isn't simply acceptible.

Ive never smelled Creed's Jardin D' Amalfi so I dont know how close of a clone or a dupe this is .. This is spring time in a bottle.. So fruity with some green accords.. I got his bottle in a trade for AF's Retro Flare Gold.. One as nervous when I found out this has neroli and rose in it, two notes in dont care for.. Then I got it tested its out and man! The citrus and the green accords actually work really well with the neroli and rose.. This is becoming one of my favorites from Hany! The only knock is that it doesnt last very long but its alright for a spring/summer freshie. The best time to wear this is a mild summer day with a breeze.. Its a keeper in my collection for sure.. Rating 9.4

This is very very close to the original. It is best used on 80+ degree days. Truly smells high quality and has lasting power with moderate village. You won't get noticed across the room but this is a great scent for close conversation. NOT a youthful scent! Anyone can pull this off but it feels out of place on younger people. Once again AF does a terrific job.

Got a decant of this and it smells great. Surprised fragrantica doesn't list neroli which to my nose is one of the most apparent notes. My only complaint is that it doesn't last too long, maybe pushing 4-5 hours (closer to 4). But I would still recommend if you are into fresh neroli scents with a little depth, shame the longevity is lacking.
