No 39 SENSUAL HONEY FLORAL

I have not smelt The Fame in years so I can't speak to how close this is but I really enjoy this fragrance. It last a good amount of time on my skin.

Ok - so like ten years ago now, I was obsessed with Lady Gaga's Fame! Anyone who really got to know that fragrance KNOWS it is a standout in the world of Celebrity Fragrances! It is floral/honey with Apricot and Incense...are you kidding me! Amazing. So, when I saw that Miim Miic had a formula for Fame called: #39 Sensual Honey Floral - I immediately bought it! Now, it has been a minute since I smelled the original but, I feel 39 isn't a 99% spot on dupe but, I'll give it %80-85...It's good. It has already garnered me some compliments so, yeah. I am very happy to have it in my collection!

I was originally introduced to MiimMiic as I was on the search for a dupe of Lady Gaga's 'Fame' fragrance. Knowing that Gaga herself doesn't have plans to re-release her scent again anytime soon, I wanted to find something similar that I wouldn't feel so guilty about using on the regular. I am glad that I found MiimMiic! This is a beautiful fragrance, while I wouldn't necessarily compare it to 'Fame' by Lady Gaga, it does have some similar deepened, sultry sweet notes. On me, it's immediately a rush of sweet honey followed by a more sensual fruit note. Over an 8 hour wear test, at the end of the day, I found that I noticed a slight sweet fragrance still lingering. It isn't incredibly long lasting, in my opinion, but layers beautifully; which leads me to the title of my review 'the essential sweet layer'. I also purchased MiimMiic's #76, "Spicy Amber Vanilla", and the two of them blend/layer together exceptionally well. The added spice notes from #76 take this fragrance a little closer to the originally duped 'Fame' scent. The two together last a lot longer than either one on their own! While I am happy that I have found what I will now call my 'signature scent' duo, I am still on the search for my 'Fame' dupe! This is an exceptional value and I love that I was able to purchase two scents for less than the cost of a single designer fragrance. My only complaint; the bottles themselves. I cannot get them to stand upright no matter where I put them. They are tall and slender yet filled with a liquid, so therefore they are prone to 'spillage'. Add in a pet kitty or two and they'll permanently live on the floor! I'd love a more broadened base for stability, otherwise perfection. Thanks MiimMiic!

Very powdery, very floral, not sweet enough, and is missing the incense note, apricot note, and the honey note which are the main notes in fame. The dry down on this fragrance is very soapy and leans more mature rather than youthful.
