How we compared
Same yardstick for The Fragrance World and every competitor in this guide. No sensory claims, no fabricated tasting notes.
01
22-30% qualifies as Eau de Parfum (EDP) grade. Lower percentages fade faster.
02
What you actually pay including VAT, sourced from each brand's UK site on 18 May 2026.
03
The published top, heart and base notes for the original, against each alternative's stated composition.
04
Verified review averages on the brand's own review platform, where publicly visible.
We do not score sensory similarity. That requires controlled blind testing under olfactometric conditions, and most published "side-by-side" reviews lack it. The Fragrance World publishes this guide and applies the same criteria to its own SKU and to every competitor below.
