Well, I was with @Ben E, and he made a purchase of a fragrance that had been sold out that has just been restocked, and this might be the last go round. I bought 100 mil, but they do sell it in 40 mils for cheaper. This is one of those situations, although the clone is an expensive clone if you are a fragrance enthusiast, you may want to take time and add this to your collection after careful research. I found that it does get between 75 to 95% close or 90%, depending upon where you’re looking, but the reviews are insane. Boadicea Faith is the luxury version: smoother, richer, more polished, and more refined from opening to drydown. It has that expensive niche feel where the notes blend together cleanly instead of just being loud. Mirror Image is the more realistic buy. It may not have every layer, every transition, or the same expensive texture as Faith, but it gives you the overall vibe without having to spend over $2,000. That is the real selling point. Faith is better if money does not matter and you want the prestige, bottle, and full luxury experience. Mirror Image makes more sense if you want to actually wear and enjoy the scent profile without feeling like every spray costs a fortune. PerformanceFaith should feel smoother and more elegant. Mirror Image may come off stronger or punchier at first, but possibly less refined in the drydown. My take: I would not call Mirror Image “cheap” or just a budget option. I would call it the smart wearable option, especially when the alternative is spending Boadicea Faith money. Faith is the flex. Mirror Image is the one most people can actually spray and enjoy. After watching several YouTube videos, reading online reviews, and drawing on my experience as a fragrance enthusiast, I have decided this is the best way to go. This way, I can enjoy the same profile. Of a fragrance that is not normally accessible to most of us or I am not willing to spend that kind of money on the bottle, or a fragrance that is not normally accessible to most of us.
