Where it differs: Gives the same bright mandarin and lemon punch, but skips the mint, basil, shiso and pepper layering, so it dries down to a plain clean musk much sooner.

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: Its mandarin opening points toward Mandarino, but orange blossom and musk soon take over, so it drifts toward a neroli cologne and loses the herbal green depth.
Where it differs: Another Italian-coast citrus cologne with a cool aromatic feel, but it is softer and more retro, without the punchy shiso, pepper and civet edge of the Tom Ford.
Where it differs: A fresh lemon-bergamot opening with aromatic herbs gives a loose resemblance, but there is no mandarin focus or blackcurrant, and it reads more like a generic fresh cologne.
