Dossier - Fruity Brown Sugar - Eau de Parfum - Inspired by YSt L's Mon Paris - Perfume Luxury - Pure Infused - Paraben-Free - Vegan - For Women - Fragrance 1.7 Fl oz (Spray 50ml)

I think the name "fruity brown sugar" trips people up with this.It's not the sellers fault a lot of people clearly didn't bother to open and expand the product image, the very first one btw, that clearly displays the top, middle, and base notes (full of florals). They are are follows:Top notes- bergamot, raspberry, pearMiddle notes- jasmine, orange blossom, brown sugarBase: patchouli, amber, vanillaThe whole point is a "sugared petals" scent profile and that's exactly what this perfume delivers. It opens heavily with bergamot, not patchouli as some reviews mistakenly said, and the pear raspberry combo lingers on top for a while. After a few moments you can catch the sugar, it's not rich or heavy like a straight gourmand a la Killian Love Don't Be Shy or Sabrina Carpenters perfumes with their super sweet profiles. It's delicate in this one; it works in tandem with the floral because it's not supposed to be fighting the floral for attention or drowning it in caramelized brown sugar misery, it's the supporting role. The sugar is what allows the middle notes to shine as it wears down. The jasmine and orange blossom joins the bergamot and fruity sugar perfectly, it smells like a bouquet lightly dusted with confectioners sugar that someone who ate an orange very messily like an hour ago is now handing to you in the best way possible.Towards the latter half of its wear time you start to get those base notes more clearly, the patchouli and amber most notably, but the vanilla remains virtually undetectable throughout the wear time yet honestly I didn't find myself missing it at all.Again, if you know you're not a floral person yet you buy a floral forward perfume anyway, that is on you not the company nor the seller and makes negative reviews moot in my eyes. Also, a lot of people straight up do not know what bergamot smells like but do you know how sage, lemon rinds, and untreated wood smells? Yeah, bergamot is kind of like that all in one for reference. If you hate the smell of sage, wood and/or lemon rinds, you'll hate bergamot.This is a masterpiece of a dupe, it is completely identical to YSL Mon Paris in every single way from the first spray all the way until it's completely worn off. I purchased Mon Paris regularly until I found this and decided to try it once my last YSL bottle ran out and I'm so glad I did. In a sea of popular gourmand perfumes that are so sweet it can make your teeth hurt and give you a migraine, this dupe (and Mon Paris itself) is a surprisingly lovely floral life raft. If you want to move away from the gourmands this is the perfect starting point, it's also very friendly as a starting point to explore more florals in general. I promise they're not all endless versions of "grandmas house if she left a bouquet to rot on the kitchen counter for a month" scent profiles. It just takes seriously careful reading of a perfumes notes, researching notes online that you may be unfamiliar with, and testing different things in order to find your perfect fits. But the biggest thing is researching notes and scent profiles you're not familiar with, that can save you a lot of time and money rather than wasting it on perfumes you'll hate the second you spray them.If you've made it this far, sorry for getting a little long winded I just seriously love Mon Paris and this dupe so so so much. Mon Paris is MY signature scent, people have complimented me on it since I started wearing it in college back in 2017, and I haven't had to ever worry about anyone smelling identically to me since the caramel sugar perfume craze started online about five years ago so I've proudly been a gatekeeping hater irl. I would've filled a bath tub full of it and soaked forever and ever if I had the means too, that's how devoted I am to this scent and I'm just over the moon to have found a perfect 1 to 1 dupe, because let's be real in the current economy it's just not feasible to be spending over a hundred dollars on perfume every month. So I will be an extremely happy and satisfied repeat customer of Dossier, as long as they keep making this dupe I know without a doubt I'll keep buying it.Don't let the other negative reviews scare you off this perfume or florals in general (tbh this may sound mean but don't ever let somebody who doesn't know the difference between bergamot and patchouli tell you anything about perfume ever in your life). If you go into it knowing the sugar and vanilla are not the dominant notes and are if anything only there as support notes, I think you'll have a much more pleasant experience with it especially if this is a blind but for you.

This I enjoyed very much and it’s long lasting in smell very sweet . Also very feminine smell.

I bought this since seeing and hearing how these smell like the expensive brands that I like and some I have but when you are disabled you can't just go out and spend tons of money on perfume. This does smell good but I feel like it doesn't last very long but it might just be me. I will buy this again as when I do wear it I get a lot of compliments but I just wish the smell lasted longer. Happy with this purchase. Would recommend.

Wonderful scent and a great cologne. I love Dossier they always hit it out of the ball park!Edit: although the scent was/is wonderful unbeknownst to me there was a hotline crack on the bottle where the perfume was leaking out slowly. When I went to wear it I found a Minnie puddle and more than 1/2 the cologne gone. Now way to salvage it.

I often forget to review things on Amazon, but I had to run to review this right away. I fell in love with YSL’s Mon Paris after I bought a multi-brand sample set to try new scents. It’s floral and sweet, but a young and clean scent, too. Dossier absolutely nailed YSL’s Mon Paris! Check the notes, and keep in mind this is a floral scent. I get nose blind to a lot of scents pretty quickly, and I can tell this scent of Dossier’s is going to have some decent longevity for me.

This does not smell like fruit OR brown sugar. If you're looking for a sweet scent this is not it. It's VERY floral. To me, it smells like old lady perfume. It's definitely a more "mature" scent. Which is not bad if you like that. I personally am not into really strong floral smells so I wish I could return this. I was going to gift it to a friend but I can't in good conscience give this to her lol. I gave it three stars because the scent lasts a REALLY long time. I sprayed it on my wrists around 1pm and was still smelling it at 10pm.

This is the second bottle of this scent that I have purchased. The first bottle, I purchased from the brand website. The second bottle, I purchased from Amazon. The quality and scent is exactly the same. I have not tried the original perfume so I can't give a comparison opinion, but I can say that this is great quality, and has moderate reach as well as a lengthy staying power. I have been complimented when I wear this and I grab for it often. Super pleased with this purchase

Doesn’t smell at all like the name - Brown Sugar. Not able to return.
