The review

On paper, Earth Noir is a strong bet if you want Tuxedo for less.

Mod Fragrances describes it with violet leaf and coriander — a different vocabulary from Tuxedo's pyramid, so judge it on the votes below as much as the notes.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $45 it costs 80% less than Tuxedo.

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 Mod Fragrances 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 lavender and bergamot, turns to orris, vetiver and patchouli, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and woody notes. That is the brief Earth Noir is working from.

Top

  • lavender
  • bergamot

Heart

  • orris
  • vetiver
  • patchouli

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • vanilla
  • woody notes
Lavender and iris over tonka woods, tailored and softly nocturnal.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
