Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

At $33 per 100ml it costs 72% less than Égoïste Platinum — the cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

Sharp lavender and rosemary over amber, crisp and slightly metallic in the best way.
