Lilya Vanderbilt I bought this dupe based on a review somewhere describing it as "gothic", and "femme fatale" etc. I've not tried the original so can't comment on how accurate a dupe it is, but I can say it is an absolutely beautiful scent. It is quite similar to Comme Des Garcons - Avignon----in that it has a church-like incense vibe mixed with vanilla----but warmer, with more vanilla as it dried down. It also reminds me a little of Tom Ford Sahara Noir, but much softer and sweeter. The original is apparently exclusive to the Middle-Eastern market? So I guess it also has that kind of vibe. It's definitely a unisex scent that would work on any gender, but it might be a bit much for some people. In summary: sexy, smoky, sweet and mysterious.
