CA Perfume Impression of Euphoric For Women Replica Version Eau de Parfum Spray Refillable Atomizer Bottle 0.27 Fl Oz/8ml-X1

Killian’s Back to Black Aphrodisiac has had a chokehold on me since 2010, which is shortly after its release. I read an article about it in O Magazine and Oprah - or maybe a beauty/fragrance editor - wrote a quick review about how amazing it is. In 2010, Killian fragrances were only sold at higher-end department stores like Saks or Neiman Marcus and I didn’t live within striking distance of being able to try it before I bought it. Despite the hefty price tag, I decided to buy it. Let me tell you, it was absolute love at first smell.It became my “signature scent” despite the price. It was my luxury although it was hard to justify the cost. I can’t recall the price at the time, but it now retails for around $375 for a 3.4 OZ bottle. I actually think it used to be more expensive or maybe I’m thinking about the larger bottle that you can use as a refill.Regardless, the price was a stretch back then, but my husband and I lived in a modest home and both had jobs that allowed for some splurges and a sprinkle of luxury.10 years ago, we bought our dream home, which required sacrifices to make a reality. Now, we are working on owning our home and being ready for retirement. So, now a luxury purchase is a nice couch, new flooring, a vacation, or even a full-price movie w/ popcorn & a drink and/or a really nice dinner out. Our priorities have shifted.Other than one surprise bottle at Christmas a couple years ago, I said goodbye to Back to Black and found more budget-friendly options. While I’ve found some I really like, nothing in my price range ever compared to my love of B to B.I have worn my surprise Christmas bottle sparingly. If the bottle was a gas tank, my light would be flashing that I’m dangerously close to empty.After discovering CA, I had high hopes that I might get close to my favorite scent for under $40. My CA’s impression of Back to Black arrived today.Before giving my thoughts, let me say that the scent profile might not be everyone’s cup of tea. It’s a slightly sweet honey / tobacco scent that dries down to a boozy (in a good way) vanilla mixed with a cherry tobacco vibe. I’m sure there’s better explanations than that available but that’s my take on the original.The scent has amazing silage without being overpowering. It’s a warm, sensual, and unique fragrance that has garnered more compliments than anything else I’ve ever worn - at any price point - in my life.So, how did CA compare?At first spray, I wasn’t 100% sold. I sprayed one wrist with my almost gone original and the other wrist with CA’s impression. It was CLOSE but not what I’d call a twin. More like a second cousin.After 10-15 minutes, I smelled each wrist. Damn near identical twins. I was stunned. I was giddy. I was gobsmacked.What is this sorcery?It’s now been about 8 hours since I spritzed both wrists. The two scents are still twinning and has become even more alluring.Oh, also I had my husband do a smell test. He thought I was trying to trick him and both wrists had the same fragrance. He nodded in absolute approval when I showed him the CA bottle as proof. He was SUPER pleased when I told him the price because he knows how much I love it, but I refused to pay the OG asking price. He has encouraged me to splurge on the OG over the years, but understood why I refused to because we have financial goals that don’t align with such extravagance.The CA impression of Back to Black is absolutely stunning and I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who loves the OG or thinks the scent profile sounds appealing. 1000/10.Also, the bottle is well made with no leakage. It sprays perfectly. Amazing value.I’ll definitely be wearing my “signature scent”again as long as CA makes this fabulous product. I might stockpile a few just in case! So glad I bought the larger bottle rather than the roller ball.BTW: They also included a vial you can use to fill with the fragrance for travel. Such a nice touch.FYI: although the scent is amazing on its own, I do like occasionally layering it, especially with a great vanilla (like Kayali Vanilla 28.) The Kayali 28 was a gift from my BFF and has been my main go to when I was trying to make my B to B last as long as possible.Another thing to add: I’ve bought other CA impressions - mostly rollerball sizes - and like them very much, especially their versions of Love Don’t Be Shy and Baccarat Rouge. Great fragrances but my heart (and nose) belongs to B to B.I waited to get Back to Black because I was low key afraid of being disappointed. This was my first side-by-side comparison, and I now have complete confidence in their scent library. I wouldn’t hesitate to try their other products if I wanted to mix things up and can do without Back to Black for a day.

I have never sampled the original Xerjoff Apollonia, however reviews on r/Fragrance Reddit made me curious enough to give this dup a try.It did take a few days to grow on me. This indeed smells like static at first spray and dies down quickly with little alcohol smell. This will be more apparent if you spray on paper. To smell the effect yourself you may need to apply more. This scent lacks warm notes and dries down to a soft musk. There are no screaming top notes and florals common many women designer fragrances. There is no amber either, though I get a subtle sweetness that doesn’t quite strike me as gourmand. The projection starts off medium and tapers with the dry down. It doesn’t have a strong sillage. Personally, I find that I need to reapply when I come home from work.Overall, this is a beautiful soft scent unlike what other houses have to offer. I liked it so much that I bought the big bottle of this dup.The atomizer design is great. Easy to refill and the mechanism prevents accidental sprays in your bag.

Not really too dissatisfied but this smells to feminine. Product is as described, except I believe more for women. I’d rather smell this on my girlfriend.

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 absolutely love this fragrance! It has a lovely, captivating scent. The fragrance lasts all day, keeping me feeling fresh and confident. I've even received compliments about it.As an added bonus, it came with an additional fragrance, which I really appreciated.

This perfume is the perfect scene and is very accurate to Baccarat.The big problem is that it is weaker than an EDT.Overall, the scent is amazing and impressive. Just be careful if you're looking for an EDT. It will fall short of that.I hope one day they have an EDP version of this. It really is amazing.

Je n’ai pas tant aimé l’odeur… mais cela est très personnel

Super parfum!

Has a chemical smell, not a scent I would want to wear on my skin. This item can also not be returned.
