The review
On paper, Japanese Princess is a reasonable bet if you want Matsukita for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Matsukita's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $120 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Matsukita — the 2nd cheapest of 3 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
The original opens on bergamot, ginger and green tea, turns to jasmine, orris and osmanthus, and settles into sandalwood, vetiver and musk. That is the brief Japanese Princess is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- ginger
- green tea
Heart
- jasmine
- orris
- osmanthus
Base
- sandalwood
- vetiver
- musk
Green tea and orris over sandalwood, a Victorian idea of Japan, quietly beautiful.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 3 twins of Clive Christian Matsukita we can price, Japanese Princess is number 2 on price per 100ml.
