The review

Noir Sultan scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Bleu de Chanel.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleu de Chanel'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 $64 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Bleu de Chanel — the 15th cheapest of 19 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

Chanel Bleu de Chanel is grapefruit, lemon and mint at first, ginger, nutmeg and jasmine at its heart and incense, sandalwood and cedar at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • grapefruit
  • lemon
  • mint

Heart

  • ginger
  • nutmeg
  • jasmine

Base

  • incense
  • sandalwood
  • cedar
For the man of every occasion. Citrus and pink pepper dry down to incense, sandalwood and cedar — the safe bet that still impresses.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
