The review
Worth a try. That is where Hysteria lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Insensé.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Insensé's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $77 per 100ml it costs 36% less than Insensé — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
