It is no surprise that products from the US based brand Bath and Body Works are not inexpensive in India. Well, they may be a drugstore brand in the US, but in India, it definitely falls anything beyond the drugstore category. So, if you are a fragrance lover and yet don’t want to splurge as much as a whopping Rs. 1295 for a bottle of their fragrance mist, then you can try this much affordable alternative – Ultimate Desire by Dorall Collection.
Dorall Collection happens to be a brand from UAE that works with lots of impression perfumes. Now, I don’t know whether this is also a perfume created as an impression of A Thousand Wishes from Bath and Body Works, but they smell almost exactly same to my nose. Let’s take a look at why. Perfume Notes The notes in A Thousand Wishes include pink presecco, crystal peonies, gilded amber and amaretto crème. While the notes in Ultimate Desire include similar notes such as, peony, amber, and almond cream. However, it is not restricted to these notes alone as there are more notes in Ultimate Desire than you get in A Thousand Wishes. To know more about the notes in Ultimate Desire, check out my review of this perfume, here. Overall, both are creamy, edible and gourmandish perfumes which smell quite identical and if I may say Ultimate Desire has more layers in it than A Thousand Wishes. Packaging When talking about the packaging, I cannot seem to pick out any preference point as both have stunning packaging. You can take a look at the image only to understand that both would look absolutely great on anyone’s vanity. So, when it comes to packaging, I think both are equally nice. Longevity and Silage Both have good longevity and silage but since one is a mist and another one is EDP, there is a basic difference here. A Thousand Wishes is a mist, so reapplication is part of its lifecycle. Whereas, Ultimate Desire is an EDP, which lasts forever on your skin and clothes. So, it is not necessary for you to take it around with you for reapplication. Price Point The major difference in these similar smelling fragrances is the price point. Where, A Thousand Wishes is available at Rs. 1295, Ultimate Desire is available at Rs. 599. Yes, kind of at half price. Now, if you even get discount on A Thousand Wishes, you can grab it at Rs. 799. On the other hand, on discount you can get your hands on Ultimate Desire at as low as Rs, 350. So, even on discount, it is cheaper than A Thousand Wishes. Final Thoughts In closure, I will say that A Thousand Wishes is a stunning fragrance. I love it so much that I cannot even say enough to justify the beauty it is. However, the fact is that it is not accessible and affordable for a lot of people in India. So, if you think you can access and afford this beauty, you should definitely go ahead and try this one. However, if you still want to experience the great smelling mist, you can try the Ultimate Desire EDP by Dorall Collection. Trust me, no one will ever be able to tell the difference that you are not wearing A Thousand Wishes. After all, that is what a dupe or impression perfumes are supposed to do, right? So, this is for those people who want to enjoy the fragrance mist from Bath and Body Works but are unable to do that. Whichever way works for you, bottom line is do try this fragrance. |
