Can’t say how close it is to the TF LC, as I have not experienced the original yet. I was drawn to the cherry and bitter almond mix in ingredients. I am fed up of the citrusy, fruity variety. Was afraid that it may smell like a cough syrup. But no. It’s fruity (non citrus) and mildly spiced, and I am loving it. It’s very modern, fresh and rich (not overwhelmingly strong). Great for all day wear, as well as occasions. When I first opened the package and sprayed, my room was smelling like the perfume counter at the airport duty free, or Shopper’s Stop. It’s that contemporary! 😍 And yet, it’s unlike any other. So, you will not be smelling similar to others, and thus, stand out. Also, you can be assured that people around you will not be able to copy/ find a similar fragrance anytime soon. Even after 6-7 hours, the notes don’t fade, or become stale. Will definitely repeat, and recommend. 👍🏼👍🏼
