The review

Journey scores 5.9 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Mon Paris.

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

At $69 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Mon Paris — the 5th cheapest of 6 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.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength AromaPassions 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

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris is strawberry, raspberry and pear at first, datura, jasmine and orange blossom at its heart and patchouli, white musk and Ambroxan at the end. AromaPassions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • strawberry
  • raspberry
  • pear

Heart

  • datura
  • jasmine
  • orange blossom

Base

  • patchouli
  • white musk
  • Ambroxan
Red berries and datura over dark patchouli, flirtatious and instantly recognisable.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
