Strong contender

The review
Cagliari scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Papilefiko.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Papilefiko's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $112 per 100ml it costs 74% less than Papilefiko — the cheapest of 1 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
Nishane Papilefiko is bergamot and green notes at first, fig, mastic and jasmine at its heart and Tonka Bean, sandalwood and musk at the end. Alexandria Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
