Lush, vintage-style floral made thoroughly modern with ambroxan and papyrus. Gorgeous!

It's truly beautiful. For lovers of tuberose it is a must try, I think. I find myself thinking of it when I wake up, and simply must put some on. I really feel I don't want ever to run out of this, so I must get a big bottle. The original is a limited edition, and won't be around for long.

This is a beautiful fragrance. I never tried the original and unlikely I ever will, judging by its retail price.
I'm delighted with my purchase!

This is interesting. I think I will have to spend some time with it before I decide how much I like it .... but I DO like it. The opening is a greasy ylang, very strong and oily sweet, almost Samsara like, but then turns away to something far less sweet and heavy. Strangely, the smell feels like it's half hidden behind a taut plasticky cover ... there is something very unfamiliar about it, but I'm curious, fascinated even, and will give it time.

Oily anÄ rsthet plasticky scent. Drydown much better than the top notes, still nothing special IMO
I never smelt the original from Penhaligon's, but I smelt other alternative from other fragrances oils companies. I like Perfume Parlour proposal. It smells smoky and a bit sweet for some hours, I like the smell a lot. It tends to turn on the sweet side after some hours, but the smell is still good.

Just perfect
I find it better than the original because the PP is directly in the bottom of the perfume with a 90% similarity (I own the original)

Absolutely Amazing
I discovered the original scent (Kilian Smoking Hot) in a large dept. store and instantly fell in love with it. I've been waiting for PP to release this and they have hit the nail bang on the head with this one. It is identical to the original. Smells amazing and lasts for ages. I can still smell it on my clothes the next day. Only a very small amount needed for maximum effects. I'm using the 60ml Extrait. 10/10 PP.

A sweet hybrid
This is lovely and sweet, quite juicy as well. To my nose it's like a hybrid of Instant Crush and Erba Pura. It's just seems to work without leaning too feminine. This is now my 24th or 25th extrait bottle from P.P. I just wish the delivery was quicker.
