The review

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

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blanche'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 81% less than Blanche — the 5th cheapest of 7 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.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: aldehydes, rose and pink pepper up top, peony, violet and neroli in the middle, sandalwood, musk and blonde woods underneath — the shape of Byredo Blanche.
