Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Fruity Castle lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Oriana.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oriana'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 84% less than Oriana — the 6th cheapest of 11 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.
