The review
Black Sun scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Orange Blossom.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Orange Blossom'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 $64 per 100ml it costs 57% less than Orange Blossom — the 3rd cheapest of 5 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
Jo Malone London Orange Blossom is clementine and water lily at first, orange blossom and jasmine at its heart and orris and musk at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- clementine
- water lily
Heart
- orange blossom
- jasmine
Base
- orris
- musk
Orange blossom and clementine washed clean, the scent of laundry drying in a citrus grove.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
