Ok so. First and foremost, i don't understand why the brand says 2019 when this perfume has been on sale in Greek supermarkets for much longer. I remember i bought it around...2016 maybe? Early in the year 2016 at the latest. Too broke to afford my beloved perfumes and sad, i saw this and another one next to the deodorants in the local supermarket. I tried both of them on and i loved it. I saved money for a bit....yes it was 5€ at the time for 100ml (i think 100ml anyway/3,3oz) and i still had to save up to buy it, but i did, and it was a ray of sunshine in my gloomy, unemployment ridden existence. This is a PERFECT copy of Chloé signature! Well, almoat. It's a little bit more "watered down", it could have been an eau fraise or even a faint old school eau de toilette, back when the scents of EdT used to be more or less the same as the EdP just less concentrated. Perhaps it is a tad more floral too,just slightly less rich and heady, although, to my great disappointment after finally buying a new bottle of Chloé signature after many years of being unable to afford it, the exact same thing could be said for the real Chloé. Anyway, as far as dupes go, this is far closer than the average dupe goes to the perfume they are supposed to imitate. It is a great copy indeed as far as the scent goes. Longevity is really bad, a couple hours with maybe a third hour as a skinscent, but hey, we are talking about a perfume that even today, with rising prices, costs barely over 7€ for 100ml, and the scent is lovely, so we forgive the small lifespan and the toned down intensity! After all, there are expensive EdP that barely manage to last 4 hours, most of them in fact....

What a nice little dupe for Chloe! It smells so close to the original I fell in love with it instantly - and thank God for that, because in 2015 when i bought it (yes it was 2015) i was so broke it wasn't funny and i couldn't afford the real deal like i used to a few years ago, so this little supermarket tester came to the rescue! Retailing for around 5€/100ml at the time, and now 8€, it was just perfect. The longevity was weak, and the projection wasn't great, but for the price you could spray and spray and spray....and keep sniffing your wrist happily. At the time, i found it to be a watered down version of Chloe but after my new Chloe bottle which i FINALLY got to get last year, well, it's not so bad. Chloe itself is now a water down, pale shadow to its original form, with weak lasting power, so this dupe is closer to the original now than ever before.

It's a very sweet smell, almost candy-like, and it's pretty good for the price but unfortunately it started giving me rashes like a week into using it :( Would recommend it to people who know they don't have sensitive skin but alas, turns out I am not one of them.
