I have not tried the original but this is lovely, really warm, strong and vanilla/amber. absolutely love it. I bought the mans one for my husband which smells the same but is also lovely
I haven't tried the original but this was quite nice, not how I was expecting it to be. it is quite floral and feminine, not much vanilla. it smells a little bit like paris.
I ordered this in 6ml roll on, it does smell just like the original, and is long lasting. I went on to buy more as I absolutely love it! very good value, I love this website its a godsend for those of us who don't have loads of money but love desighner perfume
