Main Accords
8 MAPPEDThe accords suggest a fresh aromatic structure first, then woody, citrus, and earthy facets underneath. In wear, that should mean a crisp top, a grassy vetiver core, and a soft ambery finish, with just enough spice and animalic texture to keep the scent from feeling flat or overly clean.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Sister's Aroma Like Cannabis but Not Review”
Like Cannabis but Not is a name that sets one expectation, then delivers something calmer and cleaner. This is not a loud resinous cannabis perfume. From the available note structure and brand description, it reads more as fresh grass after rain, brightened with bergamot and grounded by vetiver. The overall character is green, airy, and gently woody.
The opening appears to be the easiest part to like. Bergamot gives it lift and clarity, so the fragrance starts with a citrus brightness rather than anything dense or smoky. That freshness keeps the composition approachable. Even with the provocative name, the scent profile itself seems quite wearable and far less challenging than many people might assume.
As it develops, vetiver does most of the identity work. Here, it seems to behave less like a dark, rooty vetiver and more like cut grass, stems, and cool earth. One available review describes it as cold, green, balanced, and easy to wear, which fits the structure well. That also helps explain why some wearers may find the fragrance more floral-stemmy or vegetal than expected, rather than unmistakably cannabis-like.
The base is simple, with ambergris listed in the official pyramid and amber listed on the brand retail page. In wear, that likely translates to a clean, softly diffusive finish instead of a thick amber sweetness. It should smooth the edges of the bergamot and vetiver rather than changing the fragrance into something warm or heavy. The result sounds streamlined and modern, with a fresh woody trail rather than a dramatic transformation.
Performance looks moderate overall. Longevity votes lean mostly moderate, and sillage sits closer to intimate or moderate than strong. In practical terms, that makes Like Cannabis but Not a daytime fragrance first. It seems better suited to people who want a green signature that stays close enough for everyday use, rather than a statement scent built for night outs or cold weather.
Seasonal data also points in a clear direction. Spring and summer make the most sense here, and that tracks with the citrus, green, and vetiver-led profile. It should feel most natural in warm air, on casual days, or in office settings where something fresh and unobtrusive works better than something sweet or dense.
The main thing to understand before buying is the gap between the name and the actual smell. If you want a realistic cannabis accord, this may disappoint you. If you want a fresh unisex green scent with bergamot, grassy vetiver, and a clean woody-amber finish, it looks far more convincing. For the right wearer, that restraint is part of the appeal.

Dupes & Alternatives
COMMUNITY DUPESCOREEvidence is too thin for a confident dupe claim, and this fragrance should not be bought on that assumption. The safer comparison is stylistic: if you tend to like crisp citrus-vetiver or fresh green woody scents, this sits in that general lane rather than in a dense cannabis or smoke-heavy one.
