Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where 185 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Metallique.

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

At $25 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Metallique — the cheapest of 4 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: bergamot, pink pepper and hyacinth up top, orris, jasmine and ylang-ylang in the middle, benzoin, amber and musk underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Metallique.

Top

  • bergamot
  • pink pepper
  • hyacinth

Heart

  • orris
  • jasmine
  • ylang-ylang

Base

  • benzoin
  • amber
  • musk
A cold, shimmering aldehydic floral over warm amber; icy, powdery and distinctly modern.

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