I've never tried the original, so I can't review its quality as a dupe, but I love this perfume. It has a strong blackcurrant smell at first, which to me smells just like cassis de dijon, and then it settles into an incense-y amber smell. Would recommend and will be purchasing more scents from this brand in the future.
