FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Literally No.1 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Mojave Ghost.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mojave Ghost'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 73% less than Mojave Ghost — the 9th cheapest of 15 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.
