Italian Cello

I have a 100 ml bottle of Lira that is still 99% full. I bought two Italian Cello's and I also bought two of the Oil Perfumery versions of Lira. I wear this scent on the winter and fall only because the notes in my opinion seem like a cold weather scent. These are the same! Noone would ever be able to tell the difference and Italian Cello lasts 5× longer and has better sillage than Lira. If you love Lira and are trying to save your coins, this is the very same perfume but better.

Ok, at this point I have 25 bottles of Oakcha perfume, and I definitely have several favorites that I will alternate with throughout the year!! Someone said they smell licorice, but to my nose, it smells nothing like licorice! It’s a lemony vanilla and absolutely delicious!! It’s sophisticated without being sickening sweet! I loved it from the first spray and I now have 3 bottles, (2 backups), because I want to swim in it and I never want to run out! I don’t own the original, so if I have to choose how close it is to the original in this review, I will put 5 stars! I can’t imagine the expensive original would be better—SERIOUSLY! I hope Oakcha never stops producing this! I’m an Oakcha girl for life!

I have a couple of Xerjoff perfumes and purchased the sample before purchasing this. Italian Cello smells spot on. Citrusy, vanilla caramel goodness and not overpowering sweet. I can’t stop sniffing myself. It doesn’t seem to have spillage and the longevity isn’t great. I did still smell it on myself after a couple of hours but I have perfume quadruple the price that don’t last so don’t mind spraying again for this price and such a spot on fragrance. I feel it will do well in the fall. Because of Italian Cello, I will now also be purchasing Lira..
