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: La Libella follows the coconut, rose and vanilla-patchouli line closely but the house lists no incense or labdanum, so the drydown is softer and less resinous.
