The review
Strong contender. That is where Shyflower lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Santal Noir.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Santal Noir'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 70% less than Santal Noir — 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
What it is chasing: cardamom and bergamot up top, sandalwood and cedar in the middle, sandalwood, amber and musk underneath — the shape of Dior Santal Noir.
Top
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- sandalwood
- cedar
Base
- sandalwood
- amber
- musk
Smoky sandalwood over warm resins, restrained and quietly expensive-smelling.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
