The review
On paper, San Diego Exclusive is a reasonable bet if you want Musc 25 for less.
Alexandria Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Musc 25's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $110 per 100ml it costs 50% less than Musc 25 — 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
The original opens on aldehydes and cumin, turns to tuberose, orris and musk, and settles into amber, vanilla and civet. That is the brief San Diego Exclusive is working from.
Top
- aldehydes
- cumin
Heart
- tuberose
- orris
- musk
Base
- amber
- vanilla
- civet
Cumin-flecked musk over tuberose, glamorous and faintly indecent, exactly like its city.
