The review

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

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

It is sold as a cologne, a lighter concentration than most originals.

At $125 per 100ml it costs 48% less than Cologne — the 11th cheapest of 14 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.

A straight lemon-neroli cologne from the house of provocation, the joke being there is none.

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