Radiance vs Believe

Radiance maintains a dedicated but modest fan base within the r/fragrance community, primarily valued for its sweet fruity floral profile and nostalgic appeal. However, its discontinuation and notably weak longevity/projection are significant drawbacks, with community members noting it sits close to skin and fades within hours. Opinions on the fragrance itself are divided, though those who love it tend to be quite passionate about finding dupes or alternatives.

The fragrance community views Believe as a solid budget fragrance with strong patchouli and fruity notes that offer surprising quality for its low price. While generally well-received and praised for versatility across genders, the prominent patchouli note is polarizing—some love its earthy character while others find it overwhelming or occasionally detect off-putting burnt rubber undertones.
