Is The Essence Vault Raspberry Ripple - 533 a dupe of Jo Malone London Raspberry Ripple?
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
Divisive, disappointing, and overpriced. This Jo Malone release promised creamy raspberry indulgence but delivered a fleeting, often synthetic red fruit and musky experience. Prepare for a tart, simple scent that vanishes quicker than a summer fling.
No. 533 mirrors Jo Malone's Raspberry Ripple in leading with tart red currant into juicy raspberry, but it pushes the gourmand vanilla-and-sugar side further than the original's cleaner, more restrained fruit-forward cologne style.

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its fresh, light, and often short-lived character makes it suitable for casual wear and sports where a subtle scent is preferred. However, low projection and short longevity limit its impact for dates or formal events, and its bright, fruity nature might be distracting in an office setting.
