The 2 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: French Lover skips the fruity opening, so it starts drier and greener; owners say the resemblance shows mainly in the angelica-and-woods drydown.
