Italian Cello

Very very close dupe to Lira (I have both). It is just a bit smokier in the opening, and less fresh, but on dry down they smell essentially the same, like yummy lemony vanilla. While it definitely leans gourmand and it is undeniably sweet, it's not overly gourmand, at least to my nose. Akro Bake for example smells more like a real lemon tart vs. this has something different to it. Longevity is strong and projection is moderate. I can smell this on myself for hours afterwards! Like all Oakcha perfumes, the formula is bit oilier than the original counterpart but that is because it is an Extrait de parfum and is stronger! I have never had an issue with the formula though.

Similar to Lira but definitely not a 1-1 dupe and it’s not as deep and decadent. On the initial drydown, it’s sweet and citrusy, but once the citrus fades about 10 minutes into wearing it, it’s kind of just vanilla with a hint of lavender on me. While I like it, I prefer OilPerfumery’s dupe. Has minimal sillage and only lasts about 3 hours. In terms of perfumes listed as similar— ❌ Akro Bake: much more citrus heavy ❌ D&G Devotion: sweeter and more citrus heavy ❌ Ex Idolo Love & Crime: more citrus heavy

I own this and Lira and to my nose they are identical, and they are both a little too sickening to me. This is SO sweet. Super realistic lemon poundcake, nauseatingly sweet vanilla. It's not a bad thing, but it was too much for me. It's also super strong and lasts all day, so much so that it really does make me sick ahah. I appreciate that about it, as Lira did not perform on me personally

Very close to Lira, but not an exact dupe. For the money though, I’ll take this one. It’s lovely, sweet but not heavy or cloying, it wears ok for me, about 5 hours without putting any moisturizer under it - if I add some I get better longevity. I see some saying this smells like Akro Bake but they are pretty different to me. Plus while I love Bake the longevity was poor for me.

I tried this and Lira at the same time on each wrist. Upon opening, they are both lovely, but Lira has a sweet decadence that Italian Cello is missing. After several hours, the scent is much more similar and if anything I can smell the cello more.. with the price point, oakcha is the winner!

Very close dupe of Lira but lasts much longer than the OG. It doesn't project that much but the sillage is decent. Spicy, super sweet vanilla with a citrus backdrop. Such a unique scent! Oakcha Black Friday sale $33

haven't tried lira to compare, but this is a very sweet iced lemon cake! wish it projected better but still the best i've tried from oakcha.

Yes, please... and all the time!! This fragrance is excellent !! Definitely for the gourmand lovers!

a 1:1 dupe to lira essentially however it is a tinyyy bit more musky.

Just bought a partial from a FB group. Might be an old style because the bottle is black. However, guessing this has allowed it to really macerate. It's pretty! I smell the Bergamot, fresh citrusy right off the top. The cinnamon is light and pretty, not cloying. I've never smelled Lira, but if this is what it is like, sign me up. I haven't worn it long enough to comment on the silage & longevity, but COVID did a number on my nose, so I'm not the one to accurately comment on those two aspects. I would say this is perfectly unisex and very nice.

I have never smelled Lira so I cannot compare the two. This is an interesting one. I definitely smell the lavender and citrus. Dry down is different than initial spray. It fades quickly. I have nothad this happen before, but after about 5 minutes, i cannot smell anything. Possibly nose blind? I plan to wear this a few more times to get the full feel for it. I plan to keep it. Rate: 5/10

I have not smelled Lira so I cannot tell you if it's a good dupe. But it is an extremely good dupe of a lemon cake. A true gourmand. It smells delicious, I just don't want to smell like this very often. My husband loves it on me though.

I love this perfume. Not a fan of the strong citrus opening but it's just the opening anyways. The scent unfortunately does not last long on me compared to my other oakcha perfumes but I still love it. A delicious iced lemon poundcake scent! Edit: it's just okay to me now. I've bought other lemon fragrances that I prefer. But this one is my only lemon poundcake scent to this day

I love this! However, I like stronger Perfumes that project. This is verrrry light. After an half hour, I can barely smell it. It's nice. But I won't buy again.

Ordered this perfume since I heard someone say the citrus wears out and leaves a nice vanilla scent, was proven wrong this smells like citrus cake which I feel is the best way to describe it, and the citrus is so strong it overshadows every other note and does not wear out for the entire time. If you are one to enjoy citrus this is a good sweet option but it just was not for me.

Close enough Lira, although I think it has a smoky note to it and doesn't smell as complex or decadent. I also find the scent too cloying.. to the point it has given me a headache each time I've worn it. I suppose it's decent if you want to smell like a cake but unfortunately it's way too gourmand for my taste.

Italian Cello completely surprised me in the best way possible. This is very similar to the fragrance it was inspired by...and honestly, that may have made me appreciate Italian Cello even more. I expected a simple citrus fragrance or a wannabe dupe, but what I got instead was something warm, creamy, comforting, and quietly luxurious. This doesn’t smell like sharp cleaning-product lemon at all. It smells like sunlight pouring through the windows during a slow morning, lemon desserts shared on vacation, soft skin, and effortless happiness. There’s something very “golden hour” about this fragrance. The citrus opens bright and uplifting, but the creamy sweetness underneath keeps it feeling elegant instead of overly playful or sugary. It feels cozy while still remaining fresh, which is a balance that’s harder to achieve than people realize. The longer I wear it, the more addictive it becomes. On my skin, it transforms into this soft, expensive-smelling cloud that feels feminine, relaxed, and comforting without trying too hard. Honestly, this fragrance feels like joy in perfume form. If you typically avoid citrus fragrances because they feel too sharp, too juvenile, or disappear quickly, Italian Cello may genuinely surprise you. This ended up becoming one of the most unexpectedly beautiful fragrances in my collection.

Italian Cello is shockingly accurate to Casamorati Lira but with the performance Lira wishes it still had. I own both the 100 ml and 30 ml of Lira and this dupe doesn’t just match the original, it outperforms it. The citrus pops brighter, the caramel‐vanilla heart is perfectly faithful and the whole scent projects with an ease that Lira simply doesn’t anymore. On my skin, Lira is barely a whisper; Italian Cello is a warm, glowing presence that lasts. If you love Lira’s DNA but want real projection and a more vibrant citrus opening, Italian Cello is the better buy. It’s the same vibe, just stronger, clearer and more alive. I will cherish my small 3ml sample.

I have this and pink sugar and the similarities are there but they are not the same scent! Both are sweet and both have citrus and that’s about it. Pink sugar is fresher and Italian Cello is warmer and much more gourmand to me. I love Italian Cello and it’s quite close to Lira. DUAS Caramel Delight is another good one for Lira,,love them both. I do like pink sugar a lot,,,but now after smelling CD and IC I prefer those over PS.

Super dupe to Lira. I have both. Oddly the oakcha lasts longer on me. Once my Lira is gone I’m repurchasing the oakcha and spending my $ on something thats has no dupe lol
