Is Alexandria UK Chocolate Dream a dupe of Xerjoff Casamorati Lira?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A decadent gourmand that balances zesty citrus with plush caramel and vanilla, Lira is a plush, addictive scent tailor made for those who crave a velvety, comforting sweetness with just enough sophistication to feel grown up.
Chocolate Dream is inspired by Xerjoff's Lira, a caramel-citrus gourmand. It keeps the blood orange opening and caramel-vanilla core, but the composition is less musky and dry than the original, reading sweeter and more straightforwardly dessert-like with softer performance.
