The review
Kingpin scores 7.2 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Carlisle.
Bujairami sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Carlisle's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 it costs 93% less than Carlisle.
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
Parfums de Marly Carlisle is green apple, saffron and nutmeg at first, Tonka Bean, osmanthus and davana at its heart and vanilla, patchouli and opoponax at the end. Bujairami set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- green apple
- saffron
- nutmeg
Heart
- Tonka Bean
- osmanthus
- davana
Base
- vanilla
- patchouli
- opoponax
For the one who wants a spicy apple-and-saffron opening melting into warm tonka, vanilla and patchouli, an opulent bright-meets-dark statement with real presence.
