The review
On paper, Secret Empire is a strong bet if you want MYSLF Le Parfum for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is MYSLF Le Parfum'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 56% less than MYSLF Le Parfum — the 3rd cheapest of 3 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 bergamot and orange blossom, turns to orange blossom, ginger and iris, and settles into patchouli, vanilla and ambrofix. That is the brief Secret Empire is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- orange blossom
Heart
- orange blossom
- ginger
- iris
Base
- patchouli
- vanilla
- ambrofix
The MYSLF orange blossom deepened with vanilla and patchouli, warmer and far longer.
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 3 twins of Yves Saint Laurent MYSLF Le Parfum we can price, Secret Empire is number 3 on price per 100ml.
- 01 Bujairami Extra Pulse $33/100ml
- 02 The Dupe Spot Myself Le Parfum #396 $36/100ml
- 03 HK Perfumes Secret Empire $64/100ml
