The review
Sweet Hell scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Princess.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Princess'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 $89 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Princess — the 4th cheapest of 10 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
By Kilian Princess is bergamot and neroli at first, orange blossom and marshmallow at its heart and vanilla, musk and Tonka Bean at the end. HK Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- neroli
Heart
- orange blossom
- marshmallow
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- Tonka Bean
Fizzy neroli over marshmallow vanilla, sunny and sugared without tipping into cloying.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
