The review
50 Shades of Grey scores 5.8 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Grey Vetiver.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Grey Vetiver's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $83 per 100ml it costs 55% less than Grey Vetiver — the 5th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Alexandria Fragrances publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is grapefruit, orange and sage at first, vetiver, orris and pimento at its heart and amber, oakmoss and woody notes at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
