The 4 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: Same perfumer and shared bitter orange, but Declaration adds a cumin-heavy, slightly sweaty spice, while Bigarade stays smoky, grassy and rose-tinged.
Where it differs: Shares a bright orange-grapefruit freshness over woods, but it is airier and more designer-clean, losing Bigarade's bitter, smoky orange-peel bite.
Where it differs: Leads with juicy blood orange instead of bitter bigarade, so it smells sweeter and fruitier, without the smoky rose, hay and cardamom twist of the Malle.
