FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Chroma lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Y.
Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Y — the 4th cheapest of 10 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.
