Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Philos Centro lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Accento.

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

At $20 it costs 92% less than Accento.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Maison Alhambra 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: pineapple and hyacinth up top, iris, pink pepper and jasmine in the middle, musk, amber and vetiver underneath — the shape of Xerjoff Accento.

Top

  • pineapple
  • hyacinth

Heart

  • iris
