Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Wasted Moment lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Apple Brandy.

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

At $110 per 100ml it costs 81% less than Apple Brandy — the 2nd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
