The review
On paper, Voltage is a strong bet if you want Wood Sage & Sea Salt for less.
HK Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Wood Sage & Sea Salt'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 63% less than Wood Sage & Sea Salt — the 7th cheapest of 14 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 ambrette seeds, turns to sea salt and grapefruit, and settles into sage, red algae and musk. That is the brief Voltage is working from.
Top
- ambrette seeds
Heart
- sea salt
- grapefruit
Base
- sage
- red algae
- musk
Salt spray and dry sage on a British clifftop, the most imitated modern cologne there is.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 18 twins of Jo Malone London Wood Sage & Sea Salt we can price, Voltage is number 7 on price per 100ml.
