The review

On paper, Fading Hope is an outside bet if you want Soie Malaquais for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Soie Malaquais'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.

It is $89 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
