WHAT HAVE I DONE

I bought a cheap ass dupe of this for shits and giggles. It was the same bottle, but called REDRIGUEZ, how could I not? Well, the dupe was SO GOOD, so I figured the real deal must be better right? RIGHT?!

Spoiler: it is not. It's a floral musk for grown up, elegant, mature women. I'm only the last one. This doesn't work for me AT ALL.

At first, she's screechy white musk and I think patchouli? After it's dried down a bit, she gaslights you by being all elegant, as if she doesn't have the ability to screech. It's still just musk and patchouli, and a hint of nondescript florals. The patch feels so sterile though.

Redriguez, I didn't know you had game like that. The "dupe" has the dna, but its buried under loveliness. The florals are louder, it's got a hint of sweetness but its not juvenile, and the patchouli is quiet. I don't know what it says about me that I enjoy a 20 dollar knock off more than the original, but I think I'm OK with it.
