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: Club de Nuit Intense Man is smokier and sharper, with a louder lemon and birch opening, while Morning Chess is greener and more leathery thanks to its bitter galbanum.
Where it differs: DUA sells Daybreak Chess as inspired by Morning Chess, only in a 34 ml bottle, and few owners have reported on how its galbanum and leather compare over a full day.
Where it differs: Vibrant Leather comes from the same perfumer and shares the black leather and patchouli, but it skips the bitter galbanum green and wears lighter and shorter than Morning Chess.
Where it differs: Explorer is cleaner and more vetiver-led with a dry ambery base, so it lacks Morning Chess's bitter galbanum and the fuller Tuscan leather in the heart.
