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: Follows the same orange, rum, cacao and vanilla list, but owners find it thinner with weaker projection, and the drydown leans plainer and less creamy than Dior's.
Where it differs: Catches the creamy vanilla and chocolate-like cacao well but comes across slightly spicier, and it settles into a powdery finish sooner than the Dior.
