Is Lidl This Is Me a dupe of Cacharel Yes I Am?
Yes I Am is the bolder, sweeter pick: a creamy raspberry-caramel gourmand with more impact, better projection and a richer EDP feel. This Is Me is the safer everyday option, lighter, fresher and more restrained, with vanilla and florals that stay gentle rather than indulgent. Want something playful, noticeable and more polished overall? Yes I Am wins easily. Want an easy-going daytime scent that's softer on the wallet and less likely to overwhelm? This Is Me is the simpler buy. They share some floral-citrus DNA, but the mood differs a lot: Yes I Am is dessert-like and confident, while This Is Me is clean, casual and understated.
