Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Touch of Ember lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Blackberry & Bay.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blackberry & Bay's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $64 per 100ml it costs 57% less than Blackberry & Bay — 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.
