The review

On paper, Southy is a strong bet if you want Soleil Neige for less.

HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Soleil Neige'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 78% less than Soleil Neige — the cheapest of 5 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 aldehydes, bergamot and saffron, turns to orange blossom, ylang-ylang and jasmine, and settles into amber, Tonka Bean and musk. That is the brief Southy is working from.

Top

  • aldehydes
  • bergamot
  • saffron

Heart

  • orange blossom
  • ylang-ylang
  • jasmine

Base

  • amber
  • Tonka Bean
  • musk
Aldehydic orange blossom melting into warm amber and tonka; cozy, powdery and softly radiant.

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