The review

On paper, Matchless Persona is an outside bet if you want The Blazing Mr Sam for less.

Emper sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is The Blazing Mr Sam's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is $32 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Emper 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.
