This was my first purchase from Oakcha.
I purchased Both "Cafe Culture and Midnight Nymph"
It actually took me months to decide to purchase a "Dupe" because I've never done so.
But w/their amazing prices I figured I couldn't lose much and these particular scents I already have the originals (YSL Black Opium, Byredo Vanille Antique) to compare them to.
First off I was very impressed w/the packaging and bottles. They're as nice as a High-end Brand. I love the Magnetic Box they come in and the feel of the bottles.
The reason for the 3 star instead of the 5 is lack of "Projection" & "Longevity"
Scent is VERY similar to MY Byredo Vanille Antique and my Black Opium , but I'm shocked that both Lack in longevity & Projection considering these are supposed to be 30-40% extrait (oils)
I have some parfumes in my collection that are 18-22% that last over 8hrs on skin and longer on clothing.
BOTH of My Oakcha Scents I just received only lasted 3-4hrs max on my skin and longer on my clothing.
But that takes me back to price point, it's a Great price (especially on sale) but we're all looking for Projection & Longevity in our fragrances.
I don't want to have to "Mix & Add" during the day or night while wearing.
If I have to do that then it defeats the purpose.
Most scents I wear I can spray on before leaving in the morning to work and it's still there in the afternoon/evening. No joke.
Neither of my parfumes I just received from Oakcha gave me that unfortunately.
But they…
