The review
Worth a try. That is where Hikaya lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Arabians Tonka.
Maison Asrar sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Arabians Tonka's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $60 per 100ml it costs 69% less than Arabians Tonka — the 15th cheapest of 17 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 Maison Asrar 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: saffron and bergamot up top, oud and Bulgarian Rose in the middle, Tonka Bean, sugar cane and amber underneath — the shape of Montale Arabians Tonka.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- oud
- Bulgarian Rose
Base
- Tonka Bean
- sugar cane
- amber
For the one who wants a nuclear-projecting sweet tonka-and-saffron blend over rose and oud, warm, gourmand and impossible to ignore in any room.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
