FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Saxon Pear lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to English Pear & Freesia.

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

At $65 per 100ml it costs 74% less than English Pear & Freesia — the 7th cheapest of 10 twins we can price.
