It is inspired by the original, not a fake

An inspired-by is its own perfume, made to smell similar to a designer original. It is not the designer's bottle, name or packaging, and it does not pretend to be.

It is sold as Scentimental. How close does it get? Here is how two buyers put it:

★★★★☆

French fragrance oils, made in South Africa

Every Scentimental fragrance is made with fragrance oils imported from France, and made here in South Africa.

They are blended as an Extrait de Parfum: more oil, less alcohol. That is where the depth of the scent comes from.

Made to last 8 to 24 hours

Scentimental fragrances are made to last between 8 and 24 hours. How long yours lasts depends on the scent and your skin.

Woody, vanilla and oud scents stay longest. Fresh citrus and florals fade quicker. Tip: rest a new bottle in a cool drawer for 2 to 4 weeks, and the scent gets richer.
