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 narcissus, rose and oud structure but drops the blackcurrant syrup opening, so it starts drier and less fruity, with a thinner oud base.
Where it differs: Shares the dark blackcurrant and patchouli mood but swaps oud and narcissus for earthy truffle, orchid and amber, making it heavier and more gourmand.
