Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Star Island lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Beekman Place.

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

At $82 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Beekman Place — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.

Value9.9
Evidence7.0

Cardamom and orris over warm amber, a cul-de-sac nobody tells you about.
