These impression oils outperform the real deal when it comes to projection. I support this company because it’s IFRA regulated, in the US, FDA doesn’t regulate cosmetics. EU does. Oils crafted in France.
I paid out of pocket for my perfume oils, I have 0 affiliation with this company & this review is 100% my own unique thoughts: My 16 & 13 YO daughter loved impression of Killian, don’t be shy so much, I had to return for a 60 ML bottle.
It does smell like the real thing. Start off light with this oil, my teens were unaware this is Rihanna’s ‘signature’ scent. 6 swipes per arm and 2 to the collar bone, it permeated the entire minivan.
Whilst it smelled spot on. It was too strong for my friend who’s voice ended up changing, she had to roll down the windows. Moral, use less but, it’s GREAT for me, cloying if over used. A little goes a long way.
Out of the 10 fragrances I ordered, this was my husband’s favorite. Scientific studies state male’s favorite scent is donuts. I suppose it’s the marshmallows. Impression of Gypsie Water: Spot on vs the original.
The original does have more of an alcohol scent with the initial spritz, like the original for a trained nose there is a hint of what some would describe as mildew. Let that pass, typically 5 mins with the dry down & it transforms with your skin’s chemistry just like the real one.
My 13 YO snatched it from me. It’s not cloying. Impression of Coco Mademoiselle: Almost spot on. A tad less tonka bean, mimosa isn’t as prominent and I believe a different white musk is used. I would rate this a 4.
6 which is high as far as how close this DNA is to the original. However, I do PREFER this formulation over the original due to value, longevity. It’s in offensive. Impression of Maison Francis Kurkdjian – Baccarat Rouge 540 : Spot on.
Unisex, controversial, I must admit, this is a masterpiece of a fragrance which continues to evolve into a skin scent. Like the original, you do get that iodine scent while it’s transforming, settling into your skin.
I find the quality of this oil concoction so close 4. 8 it induced a headache in my husband when I put it on him. Start off light. I finally gave up and took pure rubbing alcohol to remove it from my husband’s body, while it wasn’t a scent that spoke to him, people around him love it.
Superb quality. I took 2 showers, went to sleep and was left with a skin scent similar to pink sugar/caramel. It was no longer cloying. My husband went to the store in an affluent area of Palm Beach, he received multiple compliments, so frequent buyers of the original weren’t aware it was a dupe.
My husband is completely clueless when it comes to scents and what’s popular. My 16 YO took this preferred it over Cloud by Ariana Grande but my 13 YO found it too strong. So if you’re a lover of BR540, considering the price point, this is a great purchase.
Impression of Parfums de Marly – Delina – Shockingly, my favorite fragrance out of all of them. 16 YO snatched it. I had never heard of this fragrance prior to this gift set. This scent is a gem. I’ve never smelled the real one, have nothing to compare it to but absolutely would buy this again.
I love concentrated non alcoholic perfume oils, I’m used to companies like Rasasi, Swiss Arabian, they tend to tone down their fragrances so start off slow application with the Western inspired oil dupes vs Arabian inspired.
Careful when watching youtube videos, because when someone gives an opinion doing comparisons, experts don’t spray the original, then rub an oil, then make a compilation video as the ole factory nerve becomes overwhelmed so consumers won’t get an accurate depiction of whether or not an impression is truly like the real thing.
Test 1 every day on clean skin, scents smell different on the body than on paper. Personally, I would have replaced Coco Mademoiselle with Creed. However, I understand the price point & still believe this is a good set.
Perhaps Oil Perfumery might make a gift set where Creed is the star seller to rival a BR540 gift set. My advice to Oil perfumery: 1. Make a YT video showing people how to refill the bottles. Do people use a nail file to open the bottle? 2.
Offer people the option to buy extra empty roller bottles with the purchase of a 60 ML bottle. 3. For refills, offer a 3 or 5 back of the tops to protect the oils once the old roller ball tip is popped off to prevent leakage.
Seals do wear off if continuously removed. This will make customers happy + increase profit margins. Over all great set. I love it better than 95% of my authentic sets. TY.
