Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Ace lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Zafar.

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

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $79 per 100ml it costs 83% less than Zafar — the cheapest of 1 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.
