The review

Worth a try. That is where Blush Kiss lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Acqua di Gioia.

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

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

At $64 per 100ml it costs 33% less than Acqua di Gioia — 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.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: mint, lemon and pink pepper up top, peony and jasmine in the middle, cedar, labdanum and brown sugar underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gioia.

Bruised mint and lemon over light woods, the feminine face of the Armani sea.
