Gold Gem

This is definitely sister to the OG, maybe fraternal twins. I literally can't tell a difference unless I smell them side by side. That being said, I'll buy this over the OG forever. For the money, it's too good. I do have other Byredo's directly from the brand that I will forever repurchase the OG of, this dupe is just special enough I don't feel the need to invest. I love the first couple hours, but the dry down is DELICIOUS on my skin and will last for ages. I can smell it wafting through the air literally 24 hours after I last sprayed. It stays on clothes for daaaaays.

Actually and surprisingly this one IS wonderful! I'm blown away! 😲 Wow! Powdery, semi-sweet, woody, aquatic and fresh. Damm. So far has lasted about 7 hours on my arms and I'm honestly and sincerely impressed. 7/10 Without maceration. Imagine how much better it might get!

I absolutely love this smell .I enjoy the smokiness ;performance is average even when I overspray. But it smells beautiful!! I purchased 5 Oakcha and of all I reach for this the most . But longevity is poor . I will get the strong version of the OG when this is finished .

It smells identical to Bal d'Afrique, but Gold Gem has no staying power. The smell is divine, but the con is that it needs to be applied every hour if you want to smell like this all day.

I have the OG Bal D Afrique and the oakcha and they are virtually the same. The Oakcha is a tad more lemony but not to an average person. Most people would thinks its identical.
