Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Brilliant lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to À la Rose.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is À la Rose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $59 per 100ml it costs 76% less than À la Rose — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.
