The review

Citron Bolise scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Cedrat Boisé.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cedrat Boisé'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 $90 per 100ml it costs 46% less than Cedrat Boisé — the 7th 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

Mancera Cedrat Boisé is sicilian citron, bergamot and blackcurrant at first, patchouli and white woods at its heart and musk, vanilla and amber at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • sicilian citron
  • bergamot
  • blackcurrant

Heart

  • patchouli
  • white woods

Base

  • musk
  • vanilla
  • amber
For the everyday armor. Zesty citron and blackcurrant ride bright white woods and musk — sharp, sweet and endlessly versatile.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
