The 3 worth trying, ranked
Similarity is the owners' vote plus the note overlap. Price is a typical US bottle price when the house publishes one. Bars are each match's own accords.
Where it differs: Named by a fragrance fan as a good stand-in, but it is lighter and shorter-lived, losing much of the clove and resinous amber warmth in the drydown.
Where it differs: Another spicy amber classic, but it leans harder on resinous incense and spice, with less of Coco's rosy, peachy floral sweetness on top.
