I recently sampled the fragrance that this is inspired by and I fell in love, but couldn’t justify the cost. I did a lot of searching for and testing of inspirations, most to my disappointment with a latex smell throughout the wear. This does have that same latex smell in the first 10 minutes but it’s MUCH less intense than others I’ve tried. It does go away too! Today (NOT my first wear of this fragrance), I had THREE people ask what fragrance I was wearing. I think this one does need some macerating before use. After macerating, I think this gets DANG close to the original when it settles into clothing/skin after about 30 minutes. It needs time but DANG DOES IT GET CLOSE 😍. This is the closest inspiration I’ve found, and I’ve tested many!
