The review
On paper, Rock Street Metropolis Emper is a reasonable bet if you want Lafayette Street for less.
Metropolis sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lafayette Street's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 Metropolis 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
The original opens on bergamot, pink pepper and pear, turns to rose, jasmine and orris, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. That is the brief Rock Street Metropolis Emper is working from.
Top
- bergamot

Heart

Base

- amber
Pear and rose over powdered sandalwood, downtown with the volume down.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
