Where it differs: Owners call the 2007 Visa very close to Chinatown, yet it is its own composition, so expect the same spiced sweet-floral mood rather than matching notes.

Where it differs: Owners say it has the same sweet waxy florals but misses the lacquered spice, incense and cardamom that make Chinatown distinctive, and it adds rose and oud.

Buy Chinatown ifYou want the spicy, incense-like lacquer over the florals.
Buy Nebras ifYou mainly love the sweet waxy florals and want them very cheap.

Where it differs: Shares the vanilla and patchouli warmth but swaps the tuberose, gardenia and cardamom for freesia, rose and caramel, so it is sweeter and much less spicy.

Buy Chinatown ifYou want tuberose and gardenia with a cardamom spice edge.
Buy Oriental ifYou want a cheap caramel-vanilla floral in a similar cozy mood.
