We looked at wearability, how many occasions each scent covers, and whether it adds a style the others don’t, so you aren’t choosing between ten versions of the same smell. Notes describe each original’s published profile. We don’t claim a percentage match or lab-tested hours.
Tips before you buy
- Sweet scents such as Opera Noir and La Vivacité feel stronger in heat. Use fewer sprays in summer.
- Give any perfume 30 minutes on skin before deciding; the opening changes a lot.
- Spray pulse points and a little on clothing for longer wear. More in How to Make Perfume Last.
