The review
On paper, Apple Cognac is a strong bet if you want Apple Brandy for less.
Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Apple Brandy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $40 it costs 86% less than Apple Brandy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Montagne Parfums 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 green apple and rum, turns to cinnamon and oak, and settles into vanilla, sandalwood and Tonka Bean. That is the brief Apple Cognac is working from.

Crisp apple drowned in aged brandy and oak, boozy and warm as a cellar in October.
