Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Red Ruby lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to The One Collector's Edition.

Armaf sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is The One Collector's Edition's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $25 per 100ml it costs 80% less than The One Collector's Edition — the cheapest of 2 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.
