The review
Strong contender. That is where African Magic lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to African Leather.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is African Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 76% less than African Leather — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
