This scent is AMAZING! I tried French Defenses once and I was mesmerized. I got the exact same feeling from the Basic Instinct! The opening is slightly different (still phenomenal) but the middle, and dry down are spot on! If your trying to find an equivalent to the original or just a show stopping scent you won’t be dissatisfied it’s way better then I expected!!
Smells great
Wow!! I cannot believe how spot on this is to the OG! French Defense and Banana Republic’s Dark Cherry & Amber are close. Longevity isn’t the best on Dark Cherry & Amber and French Defense is $$$! But Basic Instinct shuts it all down! Longevity was at least 8 hours and projected for at least an hour and a half. Thoroughly impressed with how good this is!
10/10 Blind Buy recommend; to all my blind buy warriors this is worth the risk. 1:1 to the OG, stronger on the opening and the longevity is 12 hours on skin and 24 hrs on clothes.
I've never smelled the original or any other versions of this but I can tell you Yom & Layl made a beautiful fragrance. The cherry is fantastic.
