Secret Duchess

Amazing dupe for Princess by Kilian. I will say the ginger is a little strong on the opening, but when it warms up on your skin, the marshmallow and the green tea note really start coming out. The balance between all the notes is just beautiful. I do wish the green tea note was stronger, but that's okay. It has amazing longevity and a moderate to strong projection. I do wish it didn't sit so close to the skin, but you can always spray a bunch for it to project better. I personally love sleeping in this scent, it's just so comforting. It is a unisex scent, but I'd say because of its softness, it leans a teensy bit more feminine... but it would smell lovely on men as well. Super satisfied and worth the price.

Definitely a good dupe for Princess if you like the opening of Princess. The green notes are stronger and the marshmallow is not prominent. I would also say that the ginger note is stronger and there is almost a lavender note in this similar to the gingery-lavender smell you get in Burberry Goddess. It smells similar to Goddess with a ton of green notes. The vanilla is still there which makes the fragrance well-rounded but its definitely in the background.

The dry down smells identical to Kilian Princess but the initial spray of Secret Duchess has a very strong ginger and green tea opening. Kilian has much more of a softer marshmallow opening. The ginger in SD fades eventually and you're left with this delicious marshmallow-y tea fragrance that's very pretty and girly. Lasts a moderate amount of time on my skin before turning into a skin scent but it lasts on clothes for a very very long time

Killian Princess intrigues me but never has enough for me to justify the price. So I got this. First ever oakcha order. I would say most people are correct that the longevity isn’t there but it’s a sturdy bottle so I’ve just been popping it in my bag and reapplying. Definitely heavy on the ginger but softens in the dry down and is unlike anything in my collection!! 4/5

The drydown is exactly the same as Kilians. Lasts way longer. Its subtle but I can smell this on my skin 12 hours later! I'd say this is a good option since it's much cheaper and I don't feel guilty spraying lots. Its so soft and beautiful, Princess is one of my favourite perfumes ever so this makes me very happy to have a cheaper dupe that smells exactly the same!
