FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Halo is a strong bet if you want Grand Soir for less.

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

At $33 it costs 88% less than Grand Soir.

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 amber and bergamot, turns to benzoin and labdanum, and settles into vanilla, tonka and cinnamon. That is the brief Halo is working from.

Top

  • amber
  • bergamot

Heart

  • benzoin
  • labdanum

Base

  • vanilla
  • tonka
  • cinnamon
For candlelit hours. Golden amber, benzoin and vanilla wrap the skin like warm resin — comforting, rich, endlessly cozy.
