What you're paying for
Every US dollar bottle listing in our library, checked Nov 14, 2026. Sold-out listings are shown for reference, not as deals.
| Retailer | Size | Price | Per ml | Stock when we checked |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Luckyscent | 100 ml | $290 | $2.90 | stock not shown |
That is $2.90 per ml at Luckyscent, an authorized retailer, which did not show stock on the page we read. We found no other US dollar bottle listing, so nothing to compare it against.
What it smells like, per the note list
The notes as listed: top: Sicilian Orange, Calabrian bergamot, Sicilian Lemon; heart: Fruits; base: White Musk, Madagascar Vanilla, Amber.
The notes are Sicilian orange, Calabrian bergamot and Sicilian lemon, a fruit heart, then white musk, Madagascar vanilla and amber. Wearers commonly describe it as loud, juicy and sweet. It is the Real Housewives reunion of scents: fun, high-volume, and not subtle.
Who it's worth it for, and who should pass
Worth it if: you want juicy, sweet citrus that fills a room, and a scent that behaves like a personality.
Pass if: you want something quiet, or you share an open-plan office with people who notice.
