FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Red Stallion lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Kalan.

Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Kalan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $110 per 100ml it costs 65% less than Kalan — the 2nd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.
