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: A simpler spiced vanilla that skips the almond, rose and ylang heart, so it reads less opulent and wears closer with less of the leathery base.
