First Kiss Exclusive

O.M.G. First of all, great exclusif dupe. Litchi, vanilla, incense, and amber are present and giving! Wears all day, I can still catch wafts the next day. Husband did give me the dreaded “old lady” comment, but he knows nothing, and will still wear Drakkar, so... case dismissed, lol. What I really came here to drop, is my *secret recipe*, what I’ve labeled Nomade Kiss Exclusif. In a decant- whatever size, one part Chloe Nomade EDT (must be EDT) to two parts First Kiss Exclusive. They share some notes, and Nomade EDT can be a bit hard for me to wear. Mixed with First Kiss Exclusive, they both become a totally different animal. The addition of mirabelle, davana, and an oakmoss base, put my concoction in whole other level territory. Exclusive, indeed!!

After reading all the reviews, I find it interesting that people have such different experiences with this fragrance. It seems to be a "love it" or "hate it" fragrance. I personally have tried Delina Exclusif and First Kiss Exclusive side by side, and to my nose, I cannot tell the difference. Therefore, I am not going to pay $300 for a fragrance when I can have one just like it for $65. If you are reading these reviews in hopes that it will help you to decide whether to try it or not, remember this.....not only do we all have different body chemistry, we also do not smell or taste things in the same way. So where one person may say the litchi is overpowering, someone else may smell mostly incense. Moral of the story. Try it for yourself.

I have several PDM fragrances, including Exclusif. You literally cannot tell one from the other. Yes, if you sample the original and this version side by side, you may detect a faint, insignificant difference, but the average person walking past you down the street will not stop you and say "you're wearing a dupe!". Even someone who is familiar with the scent will not be able to tell the difference just by smelling it on a random person. Additionally, this version lasts longer, in my opinion. If you can afford the near $400 price tag, go for the original, but if your just looking for the scent without breaking the bank, this will do absolutely fine, if not better!

I tried both Delina and Delina Exclusif and was underwhelmed by both considering all the hype, but I preferred the sweeter DE. Decided to blind-buy FKE during a sale just to give DE another chance to grow on me and I really like it. It’s yummier, more robust and I feel like I can actually smell it, unlike the Delina. Either it’s just better or I tried the Delinas on a bad day. FKE Lasts 10+ hours on my skin. Update: It’s September and this gets prettier as the weather cools down.

I have first kiss exclusive and also Delina exclusif. Overall they are almost identical. Delina is a bit better blended and there is a little more vanilla coming through with Delina. First kiss is a little more bright and green on the opening then starts to settle down like Delina. Overall it’s just slightly more bright and green. Sillage and longevity are the same if not maybe a bit better with first kiss exclusive.
