The review
Strong contender. That is where To be late lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic'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 79% less than Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic — the 2nd cheapest of 3 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.

What it's built to smell like
What it is chasing: pineapple and bergamot up top, ylang-ylang, coconut and orange blossom in the middle, vanilla, sandalwood and musk underneath — the shape of Clive Christian Jump Up and Kiss Me Hedonistic.

Pineapple and coconut whipped into vanilla ylang, decadent in the most literal sense.
