Shades Of Silence

Julianna’s Perfume – West Sac Factory Shades Of Silence lists six of the same notes as Nishane Hundred Silent Ways: tuberose, peach, mandarin orange, jasmine, orris and vetiver. Both compositions also mention gardenia and vanilla, though the dupe specifies gardenia as a heart note and vanilla as a base note. The original, by contrast, adds sandalwood to its base, a note absent from the dupe’s sheet.

On paper the dupe trims the price dramatically – $98 per 100 ml versus $375 for the original – while retaining the majority of the floral‑fruit scaffold. The omission of sandalwood may reduce the depth that the original’s drydown could provide, but the shared gardenia and vanilla could still convey a comparable sweet‑woody character, albeit with a potentially lighter foundation.

The verdictIn theory the dupe delivers most of the key floral‑fruit ingredients at a fraction of the cost, though the lack of sandalwood suggests a less layered drydown.
