    What do reviewers say about Duchessa and She Loves Red?

    If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
    Some dupes play it safe. She Loves Red doesn't, it goes louder than the original it mirrors, lasting well past when you'd expect it to quiet down. The kind of sillage that announces presence without.She Loves Red
