The review
Strong contender. That is where Arsenal lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Erolfa.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Erolfa'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 79% less than Erolfa — the 5th cheapest of 8 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.
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.
What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: bergamot, lemon and aldehydes up top, cardamom, ginger and jasmine in the middle, ambergris, musk and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Creed Erolfa.
Top
- bergamot
- lemon
- aldehydes
Heart
- cardamom
- ginger
- jasmine
Base
- ambergris
- musk
- sandalwood
Salty ambergris and citrus that conjure wind and spray on open water.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
