A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Vanguard lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Absolu Aventus.

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

It is $52 per 100ml.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
