The review

Silk Whisper scores 7.1 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Jasmine Sambac & Marigold.

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

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $64 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Jasmine Sambac & Marigold — the cheapest of 2 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

Jo Malone London Jasmine Sambac & Marigold is marigold and bergamot at first, jasmine sambac and orange blossom at its heart and vanilla, musk and amber at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • marigold
  • bergamot

Heart

  • jasmine sambac
  • orange blossom

Base

  • vanilla
  • musk
  • amber
Narcotic jasmine sambac cut with bitter marigold, tropical and unapologetically loud.

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