The review
On paper, No Excuses is a strong bet if you want Tygar for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tygar'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 77% less than Tygar — the 4th cheapest of 6 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
The original opens on grapefruit and bergamot, turns to cardamom and ginger, and settles into ambrox, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief No Excuses is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- bergamot
Heart
- cardamom
- ginger
Base
- ambrox
- sandalwood
- musk
Bitter grapefruit blasting over a wall of Ambrox; radiant, addictive and endlessly imitated.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
