CA PerfumeImpression of Black Orchid For Women Fragrance Eau de Parfum Spray Bottle 1.7 Fl Oz/50ml-X1

I bought this based off of user reviews. They all gave this 5 stars for the smelling just like the perfume it us intended to copy.They were right!!This smells exactly like Frederick Malle Carnal Flower at first spray and long after first spray! As it melts into the middle notes it stays true to the original and then actually smells a bit nicer as it gets to the bottom notes. Something sharp in the original is toned down here (thankfully) so I say this is a winner all around! If you love Carnal Flower - you will love this more. Lasts long - I could still smell it on my skin the next day (more than 24 hours later) and it is lovely! The projection is a tiny bit less than equal to the original but that is good because perfumes shouldn't scream your arrival BEFORE you walk into a room!They also gifted me a refillable purse sized spray container (and it's very pretty) to fill up and take along! Although, you would only need to take it along if you will be gone a few days because this perfume lasts!I am now willing to try other perfumes from this company because it seems they care about quality. The set came in a beautiful box and it all made a beautiful high-end presentation. I tried the perfume oil as well, also wonderfully for layering. Not as much projection as the spray but that is the way it should be!This dupe has no strange smelling fillers or alchohols that ruin so many other dupes. This one will not be in the markdown bin at the dollar store - this perfume is a keeper! At these prices, enjoy it every day and not just on special occasions!I live the original - it is a marvelous scent that I had to have once I tried a sample. Only it was pretty pricey - CA perfumes have taken care of that and really knocked this one out of the park!Stop reading reviews and just buy it already!

I've been buying the real clinic for years and I figured let me give this a chance wow it is phenomenal if you didn't notice the bottle you couldn't tell the difference it's such a clean beautiful smell just like Clinique and it's true it does stay on for a while you think it smells very light but I passed a few people and they smelled it hours later and they want to know what it was very happy with the product

Packaging is very beautiful and fit for a gift. The bottle leaks after 1st few sprays (and this was a replacement). It’s came with a rollerball gift (Amber Rouge Saffron)—the roller ball is cheap: gets stuck, does not roll, quite difficult for oil to come out, which is unfortunate because the roller ball gift smells absolutely amazing like my Baccarat Rouge. Also comes with an atomizer, which is great and reliable. I’m not digging this version of By The Fireplace though. Yes and no/hit or miss..sometimes i truly thought it smelled better against the real one and other times i not sure if it projects like the real one. At first spray, I needed to let it settle before i could compare. I’ll see how it macerates over time before I decide where i’ll get it from here or just get the actual bottle. When I sprayed it inside my elbow (🤔 inner elbow right? where your arm bends lol) it smelled AMAZING after drying. So it makes me think it’ll do well in heat over time… compared to the original being good in cool weather. Still need time. I ordered the sample in a spray bottle—saw bad reviews but will see for myself. Hoping the spray bottle is as good and long lasting as the rollerball oil.Update: The Amber Saffron bottle just arrived and it’s been USED—the bottle and the automizer had liquid in it and the rollerball gift missing. What a disappointment. :/ Photos added.

Not terrible, but it’s NOT a close dupe for 11:11 lake and skye. If you want something that smells better quality, lasts long and smells A LOT closer to lake and skye, I would suggest this scent in the ROLL ON OIL it’s so GOOD! It’s the reason I tried out the spray version, but this one is a little too “mature” smelling and hurts my head a little.Also all their fragrances they give you a roll on sample of another perfume, they gave me a decent baccarat rouge dupe, roll on :)
