FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Oud Maracuja's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 87% less than Oud Maracuja — the 10th cheapest of 14 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

What it is chasing: passionfruit, saffron and Turkish Rose up top, agarwood (oud), benzoin and patchouli in the middle, leather, akigalawood and amber underneath — the shape of Maison Crivelli Oud Maracuja.

Top

  • passionfruit
  • saffron
  • Turkish Rose

Heart

  • agarwood (oud)
  • benzoin
  • patchouli

Base

  • leather
  • akigalawood
  • amber
For the one who wants juicy tropical passionfruit crashing into dark oud and leather, a bright yet smoky modern crowd-pleaser.

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