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: Marketed as a take on Tsar from a UK oil house, it is sold mainly as concentrated perfume rather than a spray EDT, so it wears closer and denser.
