The review
Worth a try. That is where Saxophone lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Jazz Club.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Jazz Club's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $75 per 100ml it costs 56% less than Jazz Club — the 6th cheapest of 13 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
What it is chasing: pink pepper, neroli and lemon up top, rum, clary sage and vetiver in the middle, tobacco leaf, vanilla and styrax underneath — the shape of Maison Margiela Jazz Club.
Top
- pink pepper
- neroli
- lemon
Heart
- rum
- clary sage
- vetiver
Base
- tobacco leaf
- vanilla
- styrax
For the last pour. Rum and pink pepper melt into tobacco and vanilla — boozy, warm, quietly cool.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 18 twins of Maison Margiela Jazz Club we can price, Saxophone is number 6 on price per 100ml.
