For lovers of tea‑spiced gourmand accords

Julianna’s Perfume – West Sac Factory London Fog is presented as a parfum, placing it in the highest concentration tier. Its top trio of cardamom, fig and black tea points to a spiced, fruit‑laden opening, while the heart adds iris and a bourbon‑tinged vetiver. The base combines sandalwood with tonka bean, promising a creamy, woody finish. At $98 per 100 ml it sits well below the $290 price of BDK Parfums Gris Charnel.

On paper the two fragrances intersect on four key accords – black tea, fig, cardamom and tonka bean – suggesting a shared aromatic backbone. The original also lists iris, sandalwood and vetiver, which the dupe reinterprets as heart‑iris, bourbon‑vetiver and base sandalwood, while omitting the original’s pure iris and vetiver descriptors. This shift, together with the lower price, may appeal to buyers prioritising the core quartet over the full original palette.

The verdictOn paper the dupe mirrors the original’s core quartet of notes at a fraction of the price, though it presents iris, sandalwood and vetiver in altered forms.
