Compared to the original TF it starts less fresher and crispy however it settles into a much much more lasting perfume.the original TF starts with very bright citrussy notes which lasts only for few minutes and than settles onto smooth faint almost creamy cologne tones. I hate admitting that Perfume Parlour s sample is better than TF original. As all oil based perfumes I tried from PP has a linear fragrance that lasts through the day . PP a good 12 to 15 Hours. TF 2 to 4 hours
