I was gifted this fragrance just over a week ago by Orientica for review and wow, bold statement but probably one of the best releases in 2025. I can’t quite put my finger on what it’s a dupe for, possibly YSL Myself or similar, it definitely smells very familiar but regardless, this stuff is a crowd pleaser. It’s addictive, strong and has enormous longevity...to the point a shower and I can still smell it on me. Every Orientica fragrance in my collection always feel luxurious, like they’ve used the highest ingredients. Don’t get me wrong, there are some scent profiles I don’t appreciate due to my personal taste but they’ve always been done very well. This though is next level, it’s absolutely stunning! Anyone got any ideas on what it’s cloning?

Creamy rose with a nice patchouli and a very prominent black current. Date night leaning but you can use it anywhere. A good quality sweet and blue shower gel 8/10. Orientica Noble is better, but this one is worth it. Easy blind buy btw.

THIS IS MYSELF ON STEROIDS. Mind you, it's much more denser, louder and amped up, stays forever on clothes and over 12 hrs easily on skin, makes myself smell like cheap water

This has a boatload of Ambrofix/amberwoods. Headache city. Doesn't smell as close to Myslf as it does to Ysl Y edp intense with a little more sweetness (stronger with you type of sweetness). I thought it was awesome, then wore it and by hour 4, I wished I could have washed it off. Stuck to my clothes like glue. It's not beast mode, but it's strong. The type of amberwoods/ambrofix that's in Myslf and the whole Ysl Y line. It bothers me to no end and burns a hole in my soul. This is a huge hell no. If Ysl Y gave you headaches, then stay away.

These notes are completely wrong. I've come to the realization Fragrantica is run by a bunch of woman who have no clue what they are doing. With Perfumes that are blatantly mens perfumes labeled as a woman's. To the rating on Perfumes being more feminine or less desirable adjectives for a man like "bad" instead of feminine or masculine, to notes being pulled right outta their arses with zero homework done especially mens perfumes. Stellar work thanks for caring!
