Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Compassionate lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Rose 31.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rose 31'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 82% less than Rose 31 — the 3rd cheapest of 6 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: rose, cumin and bourbon vetiver up top, cedar, agarwood (oud) and guaiac wood in the middle, amber, musk and olibanum underneath — the shape of Le Labo Rose 31.
Top
- rose
- cumin
- bourbon vetiver
Heart
- cedar
- agarwood (oud)
- guaiac wood
Base
- amber
- musk
- olibanum
For the one who wears rose like armor, letting cumin, cedar and incense strip away every trace of sweetness into something defiantly androgynous.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 11 twins of Le Labo Rose 31 we can price, Compassionate is number 3 on price per 100ml.
