Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Preserve lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Baie 19.

AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Baie 19's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $69 per 100ml it costs 67% less than Baie 19 — the cheapest of 3 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.

Crushed juniper and wet stone, the exact grey smell of a city just after rain.
