The review
Worth a try. That is where Retro Flare (silver) lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Gentle Fluidity Silver.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gentle Fluidity Silver's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $117 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Gentle Fluidity Silver — the 4th cheapest of 6 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 is chasing: juniper berries, nutmeg and coriander up top, musk and amberwood in the middle, vanilla and woody notes underneath — the shape of Maison Francis Kurkdjian Gentle Fluidity Silver.
Top

Heart
