The review
On paper, Banging is a reasonable bet if you want Molecule 01 + Patchouli for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Molecule 01 + Patchouli'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 43% less than Molecule 01 + Patchouli — 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.
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
The original opens on Iso E Super, turns to patchouli, and settles into Iso E Super and patchouli. That is the brief Banging is working from.
Top
- Iso E Super
Heart
- patchouli
Base
- Iso E Super
- patchouli
Iso E Super with a single dose of Indonesian patchouli, minimalism given one earthy companion.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
