Not identical to the original, but in a good way. I get more lily of the valley and lime blossom, and less of beeswax. For me this is better than the original. Lovely!

Option Review:13ml Spray
It is generally a very special fragrance. I find him very very good. Oriental and woody. Yet bright and not heavy. You can smell spices and also the carrot seeds. The scent doesn't jump out at you or project excessively. The longevity is also good, but not above average. The scent is extremely different and eye-catching, yet understated. The fragrance manages the middle thing between the special and fancy but not intrusive. A fragrance for special occasions. I like it very much.

I have applied 3 sprays. The scent is very well perceived. I applied it at 6pm and at 6am I could still smell the scent lightly on my skin. It is quite a great gentleman scent. If you like the fragrances "the Tragedy of Lord George" and "Endymion" you will like this one very much too. Wearable for any occasion and any time.

When I first put this on I thought it had a weird nutty scent...I didn't like it at all....but I woke up the next morning and could still smell it on my skin and my p js and it smelt lovely....so if you don't immediately like it, give it time....

If the original is Freddie Mercury, this is Marc Martel. The next best thing. If you passed by a club where Mark sings, not paying too much attention, you would think Feddie had risen from the dead. So don't over analyze, just wear it and enjoy it.

Option Review:30ml Spray
There is either something wrong with my nose, or with the batch i got. I compare this one side by side for the third day in a row with the original, both strip and on skin and it smells nothing like the original. It does go in the same direction, it is similar type of scent, but i wouldn't say this is even based on the BDC. It does not smell bad, it's just not even close. The original doesn't perform well either longevity/projection wise, this one is not better or worse in that regard.

Great fragrance. Extremely close to the original TF. PP’s version is a bit superior in my opinion.

Option Review:30ml Spray
This is just amazing. It's very close to the original scent and is an extremely beautiful and attractive scent. I feel confident as hell when I'm wearing it. I got wafts of the fragrance when I was out walking and I can tell that people around me react to it as well. This is extremely close to the original, and smells A LOT more expensive than it is. I might be able to smell the difference between this and the original if I had them side by side, otherwise there's no chance, I'd say it's about 95-99% identical, at least in the dry-down. The only strange thing has been that I can't smell it on my skin after just a short while if I've sprayed it on my wrists for an example, but I still get wafts of the scent for many hours, possibly from the fabric of my clothing. If you like Bal D'Afrique, get this! It's a no-brainer really. If you haven't sampled Bal D'Afrique and you want a clean and fresh scent that manages to be fruity, citrus-y and fresh spicy that has a beautiful Vetiver base? Yeah, try this out! I personally think it leans masculine - but I think I would like it on a woman too, and I've seen people say that Bal D'Afrique is more feminine, and I can't agree but that just speaks on how perfectly unisex it can be I guess.

Roland 0402

(Belongs To The Olfactory Notes Family Similar to Oliver Peoples - Byredo ®)

Option Review:30ml Spray
The original Oliver Peoples from Byredo is one of my absolute favorite scents of all time, and I was absolutely beguiled when I saw that there was a dupe of it that I could buy, because I only managed to buy one bottle of Oliver Peoples before it was discontinued all those years ago. Does it live up to the the original scent? Not exactly. The scents are all there and it definitely reminds me a lot of Oliver Peoples. The Bal D'Afrique dupe that I also ordered is a 5/5 and really smells maybe 95-99% like the original, where the Oliver Peoples is more like 85%. To my nose, it lacks a bit of sweetness and the warm undertones from the original, and it even leans towards cooler undertones on my skin, when I put my nose up to it I feel like I'm breathing in some menthol almost, not in smell but just the "cold" sensation of it, which is the opposite of what I remember from the original. I'm not the best at describing notes and fragrances in perfume because I've been a very casual perfume fan up until lately unfortunately, so I will not claim to know which notes could cause this. That said, this does smell good! It just isn't as beautiful as the original and it does seem like it has the same notes but maybe the wrong proportions or something missing/added to it that just changes the fragrance profile ever so slightly. For the money it's absolutely worth it and I do foresee myself using it more as we move into fall because it seems better suited for that, whereas the original Oliver Peoples was amazing in the summer. The longevity of just the regular 30ml spray is the most impressive part I'd say, I sprayed some on my hand around 8PM yesterday, now at 10AM today I can still smell it clearly. If you're curious about the scent and you enjoy Bal D'Afrique and want something that's a little bit heavier? For the price I'd definitely recommend this anyway. But for the person who loved Oliver Peoples and been wishing for it to return? Well - try it, it's very close to the original but just don't expect it to be indiscernible from the original.

I really enjoyed this one. Out of all of the PDM line up. This and Galloway were my favourites. Layton was disappointing. This has great longevity and projection for the first 1-3hrs and lasted about 7-8hrs off my skin. Highly recommend this and Galloway.
