FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Carnival is a strong bet if you want New York Nights for less.

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

At $33 per 100ml it costs 93% less than New York Nights — the 2nd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Bujairami 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

The original opens on bergamot, plum and pink pepper, turns to jasmine, gardenia and orris, and settles into amber, vanilla and sandalwood. That is the brief Carnival is working from.

Gardenia and plum sunk into amber and vanilla, the city at two in the morning.
