No.002 - Fruity Brown Sugar Eau de Parfum - Inspired by Y Mon Paris Luxury Perfume for Women - Long Lasting Fragrance Spray - 1.7 Fl Oz/50 ml

This smells identical to the Kilian love don’t be shy original that I have. Sweet light vanilla fragrance. I also have the original hair mist in this fragrance too.I often received compliments. Will buy again and I do highly recommend.

I am not a perfume connoisseur, I just like nice smelling perfume so I can’t speak on top notes, dry downs, blah blah blah. But I bought this because I read it’s a Love Don’t Be Shy dupe. I’ve never smelled that perfume before so I can’t say if it’s a real dupe or not, sorry, but I felt like I was missing out on that scent.Ok so now I’ll try my best to describe the scent. When I’m trying a new perfume, I always spray my hand and not the air or my wrist. Don’t know why.At first when I sprayed my hand, I did not like it. At all. I was like 😳 oh! It smelled like black licorice. I don’t like black licorice. Not overpowering but the scent was there.I’m writing this after a few minutes after spraying and it has now settled into my skin and I’m starting to like it. (I tend to like floral, light sweet scents for context). Love Don’t Be Shy supposedly smells like vanilla, orange blossom, and marshmallow. I don’t know if that’s what I’m smelling but it’s nice. This smells like warm, spicy, sweet, woody, I can’t describe it. It’s nice. Like I want to be in a cabin in the winter sitting in front of a fireplace drinking hot cocoa. Very nice. I’m surprised.

Based on the listing, I expected something different that this. It was vaguely... potpourri? It also went on strong and faded nearly immediately in my experience.

It really smells deliciously like the brand scent. Affordable and delivered with extra care.

just getting into colognes so take my review with a grain of salt.If you’re into that floral powdery-like smell then it’s for you. I bought this as it claim to be just about identical with the “another 13” brand which the one I initially wanted but this bottle is great in term of its cheaper price. Its longevity is great as well. I’d only need to spray one in the wrist, inner elbow and the residue on my neck. I feel like anything more would be make you sickly since it’s surprisingly concentrated.

I am a big fan of Another 13 and was excited to see this much more affordable option. I've had some bad experiences with interpretations in the past, so I was set to be skeptical about how close this would get. However, I was pleasantly surprised. This captures the essence of Another 13 and does it justice. I've given it a full wearing side by side now, and after the initial sprays, I can't tell the difference on my skin.The first thing that I notice is the familiar ambroxan-heavy opening. It’s smooth and slightly synthetic but in a good way. Another 13 has this distinct musky veil that makes it both understated and mysterious, this fragrance nails the vibe nearly perfectly. I honestly doubt most people would be able to tell them apart within the first hour or two of wear.Longevity is great. It easily lasts about 8 hours on my skin, and it projects well for the first few. It’s not a powerhouse, but that’s not the point with a fragrance like this. It lingers in a way that makes it noticeable yet subtle, which I love. It is slightly feminine leaning, but I think it can easily be worn by anyone. I got tons of compliments both with the original and with this.

My wife and I both are enamored by the Lrerabo No. 024 Chypre Eau de Parfum. And it has an entirely different presence on each of us. On her, it has a definite bouquet of citrus and fruitiness, while on me, as best I can describe it is to say it has a scent of “freshness,” it conveys a feeling of cleanliness and hygiene. And although it’s apparently a men’s fragrance, my wife has now taken possession of it . . . what’s mine is hers and what’s hers is hers.Neither of us is familiar with the scent of Aventus’ Luxury fragrance, but in our experience, the scent of the Lrerabo No. 024 Parfum is unique, and unlike cheap fragrances, keeps its alcohol ingredient well understated, if not hidden entirely. If, as the seller states, the fragrance component of the No. 024 actually does contain ambergris, then it’s a “parfum” in the true sense, and at $50, a bargain.On the other hand, they contradict themselves when they also state that “All our ingredients are vegan & cruelty free.” Ambergris is derived from the bowels of sperm whales, and although I’m guessing, probably not without harming them. But who knows, perhaps there are ambergris miners swimming into the gullet of sperm whales to retrieve it from their viscera. What is unequivocal is that ambergris is very costly and used as an ingredient in the fragrance component of the finest perfumes, perfumes costing far more than $50.I’m not going to get picky about the contradiction I pointed out earlier, although the fragrance cannot contain ambergris and be vegan at the same time. I will also give the seller the benefit of the doubt when they say that their No. 024 fragrance uses ambergris as an ingredient; they are discrete about it. That said, it is a sophisticated fragrance and as high-quality perfumes will do, reacts uniquely to individual body chemistry.The Lrerabo No. 024 Parfum is delivered in upscale packaging and contained in a heavy, solid glass vial with a pull-off chromed bauble top. The pump spritzer is definitive, releasing a wide, misty cloud of the fragrance that can be walked through, waved through or applied directly to the skin or clothing.

I'm still on the search for the perfect cologne for myself, I've tried Armani Code, CK Eternity, Polo Big Pony No 4, Burberry Brit, Valentino Born in Roma (Green), and Prada Luna Rossa, but I have not yet found my favorite one at this time. This Cologne is supposed to Bleu de: Chanel, but I have not yet tried that or even sniffed that, but the smell and nuance reminds me of the Armani Code cologne. I like how the "Inspired by" fragrances now smell exactly (or at least 90% similar) to the inspiration fragrances, so it's actually cheaper to buy one of these and test out the smell rather than spending $50-100 to find that you don't enjoy a particular cologne.
