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: Vivid Flame is classed as a chypre and described as a modern interpretation, so expect a mossier, more updated twist rather than 1872's bright green citrus.
Where it differs: Al Ameed adds pineapple and a leather-musk base, so it reads fruitier and darker than 1872's crisp citrus-herbal opening and green woody finish.
