Worth a try

The review

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

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

At $48 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Paris — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

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

What it is chasing: violet, bergamot and geranium up top, rose, violet and iris in the middle, sandalwood, musk and amber underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Paris.

Top

  • violet
  • bergamot
  • geranium

Heart

  • rose
  • violet
  • iris

Base

  • sandalwood
  • musk
  • amber
Enormous violet-dusted rose, romantic and unashamedly maximal.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 9 twins of Yves Saint Laurent Paris we can price, Paris is number 5 on price per 100ml.
