The review
Worth a try. That is where 386 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Pure XS.
Blossom Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Pure XS's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $34 per 100ml it costs 57% less than Pure XS — the 6th cheapest of 9 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: ginger, thyme and bergamot up top, cinnamon, vanilla and myrrh in the middle, vanilla, amber and woody notes underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Pure XS.
Top
- ginger
- thyme
- bergamot
Heart
- cinnamon
- vanilla
- myrrh
Base
- vanilla
- amber
- woody notes
Ginger and cinnamon over syrupy vanilla myrrh, sweet and deliberately provocative.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
