The review
The Scent of Beach scores 7.1 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing The Scent of Peace.
ALT Fragrances sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is The Scent of Peace's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $82 per 100ml it costs 89% less than The Scent of Peace — the cheapest of 2 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
Bond No. 9 The Scent of Peace is blackcurrant, grapefruit and bergamot at first, lily of the valley, jasmine and freesia at its heart and musk, amber and sandalwood at the end. ALT Fragrances set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
