The review
On paper, Side Walk is a strong bet if you want Lafayette Street for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lafayette Street'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 81% less than Lafayette Street — the 3rd cheapest of 4 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, pink pepper and pear, turns to rose, jasmine and orris, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. That is the brief Side Walk is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- pink pepper
- pear
Heart
- rose
- jasmine
- orris
Base
- sandalwood
- musk
- amber
Pear and rose over powdered sandalwood, downtown with the volume down.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
