Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Deco Drive is a strong bet if you want Bleecker Street for less.

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

At $82 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Bleecker Street — the 4th cheapest of 9 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength ALT 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 violet leaf, bergamot and pink pepper, turns to iris, jasmine and guaiac wood, and settles into musk, amber and cedar. That is the brief Deco Drive is working from.

Top

  • violet leaf
  • bergamot
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • iris
  • jasmine
  • guaiac wood

Base

  • musk
  • amber
  • cedar
Violet leaf and iris over smoky guaiac wood, the most quietly addictive Bond there is.
