The review

On paper, Dark Harmony is a reasonable bet if you want Ultra Male for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Ultra Male'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 25% less than Ultra Male — the 8th cheapest of 12 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 pear, lavender and mint, turns to cinnamon, clary sage and black lavender, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and amber. That is the brief Dark Harmony is working from.

Top

  • pear
  • lavender
  • mint

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • clary sage
  • black lavender

Base

  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Sugary pear and lavender over vanilla, absurdly strong and unapologetically fun.

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 15 twins of Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male we can price, Dark Harmony is number 8 on price per 100ml.
