The Queen can't hold a candle to this lady..
I ordered Queen of Spades from Scentit UK in September 2023 and received it.
The bottle now looks different from the picture on Parfumo.
The bottles all appear to be uniformly shaped and differ only by a printed sticker. The relatively thick foil has been stuck around the corners of the bottle and pricks my palms when I reach for it. High quality is something else, after all this copy costs about 50 €, every other dupe manufacturer has better bottles.
The oil content is high, the fragrance has already formed flakes.
Now to the fragrance:
My husband and I love the original Xerjoff and were looking for a cheap alternative, but unfortunately we were disappointed.
Queen of Spades comes relatively close to Piko, but that's it.
I find the aldehydes in the opening very pungent on the nose and I associate something with Chanel No 5.
Fortunately, it softens as it progresses.
Lasting power and sillage is a 10 out of 10, just like the original.
But the soap note in Piko is unbeatable.
It smells priceless and soft.
Queen of Spades is unfortunately only the drugstore soap version, not bad, but for someone who is looking for the expensive soap and doesn't want to smell like you accidentally reached for grandma's curd soap in the shower, this is not for you.
