Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Diamond Cut lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to 40 Knots.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 40 Knots's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $89 per 100ml it costs 71% less than 40 Knots — the cheapest of 3 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: sea notes, cardamom and bergamot up top, sage, geranium and nutmeg in the middle, ambergris, cedar and musk underneath — the shape of Xerjoff 40 Knots.
