Smelled this right next to cargo de nuit and its a 99% match. This is so good and lasts most of the day on me. 1000% recommend this as a much much cheaper alternative to cargo

Lasting 2 hours is a lot! Mine lasted minutes. Too bad bc I actually really like the smell.

This lasted two hours on my skin. Almost no sillage, you need to overspray to get any kind of a scent trail. It is not unpleasant. If anything changes over time I will return and update.

It's a soft "dry" scent like a powdery scent that's not like a baby powder smell... more like a cosmetic face powder type of smell. The orris in this is gentle, not sharp like how iris can sometimes smell. I mainly smell sandalwood, orris, ambrette, a hint of a woodsy vanilla, and some cedar and I don't really smell the white florals. This reminds me a lot of Black Tie by Celine but somewhat stronger, but still does not last a long time unless oversprayed and on clothes, but still lasts longer than Black Tie lasts. I don't think this supposed to be a dupe for Black Tie, but it definitely reminds me of it. It's definitely office safe because it sits closer to the skin with a few sprays and it's a classy scent. I would not call it a skin scent like Glossier You or Not a Perfume, but it's not really strong either. It's starts out kinda strong, but quickly mellows out and gets lighter within the first 20 minutes and it probably does last around 1-2 hours with the scent smelling stronger. I mean, it does last awhile with overspraying, but it gets much lighter than the initial blast. It does last several hours on clothes, so if you like this scent, I suggest spraying it on your skin and clothes and also OVERSPRAYING! I could smell it most of the work day when I did that, but it just isn't a powerhouse. That's ok because not every scent has to be really strong and some days it's nice to have something softer. I like this fragrance, but it's not a complete love because of the performance and just because I usually reach for gourmands more, but this is definitely pretty! Although the bottle itself is really pretty, it doesn't match the scent whatsoever. This bottle seems like it would contain an aquatic/fresh fragrance, so they missed the mark with this bottle.

This is listed as a dupe for cargo de nuit which I am confused by. This is a man’s cologne smell 1000%. Not feminine in any way. Huge blind buy fail.

I've heard it's a clone of Prada Luna Rossa Black. Is that so? The performance issues, could it be due to lack of maceration?
