The verdict: QAWAFI’s Voyage Nova is a genuinely pleasant lychee-rose-patchouli fragrance that’s earned its “Amazon’s Choice” badge and over 6,000 purchases in the past month, largely riding a wave of TikTok comparisons to a much pricier designer scent. At $25.99, it’s a fair gamble — but go in knowing longevity is the recurring complaint, with several buyers noting it fades on skin faster than it lingers on clothing.
Why We Picked It
Voyage Nova blends lychee, bergamot and ginger top notes with a rose-peony-cocoa heart and a patchouli base — a fruity-floral-gourmand combination that’s been trending hard this year. It currently holds a 4.0-star rating across 322 ratings and an “Amazon’s Choice” badge in Women’s Eau de Parfum, with 6,000+ bought in the past month alone.
What Owners Actually Say
Kedija kejela (5 stars): “I’m delighted to have found a perfume that suits my taste so perfectly. It has a strong, pleasant, and captivating fragrance that lasts for hours without being overwhelming. I also appreciate that it offers such great quality at a reasonable price.”
Cynthia, who bought it after seeing it on TikTok: “So many girlies on Tic Tok was hyping it up, so I decided to try it. They said it’s a dup for an LV fragrance. I don’t have the real thing, so I can’t compare. This is a nice floral, some fruit fragrances to me. The staying power is pretty good if you spray it on your clothes too.”
Crystal Jordon (4 stars): “At first, I was a little hesitant… But, I was wrong!! This scent is definitely a spring/summer scent. Clean, Fresh and smells beautiful! The hype is real and the perfume is well worth it.”
Not every review is glowing. Deb gave it 3 stars: “Not what they claim, scent does not last. After an hour I can’t smell it however, I can on my clothes but not my body. Glad [I] didn’t spend a lot.”
One Thing to Check
Longevity on skin is the most consistent theme in the critical reviews — several buyers, including Deb above, report the scent fading within an hour directly on skin, while lasting noticeably longer on clothing and fabric. If all-day skin projection is your top priority, plan to reapply midday or spray it on clothing as well as skin, as Cynthia describes doing.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Genuinely well-liked scent profile (fruity-floral-gourmand) at a fraction of designer prices; Amazon’s Choice badge with a large, active buyer base; performs noticeably better on fabric than some competitors at this price.
Cons: Skin longevity is inconsistent — fades within an hour for some wearers; 15% of ratings are 1-star, largely echoing the longevity complaint; scent similarity to any specific designer fragrance is buyer opinion, not a verified claim.
FAQ
Is this really a dupe for a designer perfume? That’s a claim repeated across social media and in some reviews, but it’s subjective — go by the actual listed notes (lychee, bergamot, ginger, rose, peony, cocoa, patchouli) rather than assuming it’s an exact match.
Which size should I get? It’s available in 1.7 fl oz ($25.99) and 3.4 fl oz ($35.99) — the smaller size is the better first purchase if you haven’t tried it before.
Does it work for daily wear? Reviewers describe it as a spring/summer daily scent rather than a heavy evening fragrance.
For Specific Needs
If you want maximum staying power: spray it on clothing in addition to skin, since multiple reviewers found it lasts noticeably longer on fabric.
If you’re fragrance-sensitive or prefer subtle scents: reviewers describe it as noticeable but not overwhelming, though personal chemistry varies with any fragrance.
If you’re chasing a specific designer scent match: read a few reviews describing the actual smell rather than relying on “dupe” claims alone — reactions to how close it is vary by reviewer.
