Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where 123 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Habdan.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Habdan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 71% less than Habdan — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

A warm, resinous vanilla-amber laced with saffron, incense and a whisper of oud.
