The review

Worth a try. That is where Top Five lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Jazz Club.

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

At $89 per 100ml it costs 48% less than Jazz Club — the 10th cheapest of 13 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

What it is chasing: pink pepper, neroli and lemon up top, rum, clary sage and vetiver in the middle, tobacco leaf, vanilla and styrax underneath — the shape of Maison Margiela Jazz Club.

Top

  • pink pepper
  • neroli
  • lemon

Heart

  • rum
  • clary sage
  • vetiver

Base

  • tobacco leaf
  • vanilla
  • styrax
For the last pour. Rum and pink pepper melt into tobacco and vanilla — boozy, warm, quietly cool.

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