The review
On paper, Pure Desire is a reasonable bet if you want My Way Ylang for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is My Way Ylang's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 53% less than My Way Ylang — the cheapest of 1 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 mango, coconut and orange blossom, turns to ylang-ylang and tuberose, and settles into vanilla, white musk and cedarwood. That is the brief Pure Desire is working from.
Top
- mango
- coconut
- orange blossom
Heart
- ylang-ylang
- tuberose
Base
- vanilla
- white musk
- cedarwood
Mango and coconut carry the tuberose somewhere warmer; My Way booked onto a beach holiday.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Giorgio Armani My Way Ylang we can price, Pure Desire is the cheapest per 100ml.
- 01 HK Perfumes Pure Desire $64/100ml
