Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where 053 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Vanille Fatale.

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

At $34 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Vanille Fatale — the 3rd cheapest of 8 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 Blossom Perfumery 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

What it is chasing: black pepper, saffron and cardamom up top, vanilla, incense and praline in the middle, sandalwood, cedar and amber underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale.

Top

  • black pepper
  • saffron
  • cardamom

Heart

  • vanilla
  • incense
  • praline

Base

  • sandalwood
  • cedar
  • amber
Vanilla rendered dark and smoky with spice and incense; opulent, warm and anything but simple.

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