The review

On paper, Ancient Curse is an outside bet if you want Torino21 for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Torino21's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

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

It is $89 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 HK Perfumes 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.
