Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Ambre Musc lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Tuxedo.
Montagne Parfums lists 3 of the 9 notes in Tuxedo's pyramid — bergamot, patchouli and vanilla. What it does not list: lavender, orris, vetiver and tonka bean; and it adds violet leaves, lily of the valley and rose of its own.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $40 it costs 82% less than Tuxedo.
