Strong contender
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Strong contender. That is where Buko Inspired lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Virgin Island Water.
Montagne Parfums lists 7 of the 11 notes in Virgin Island Water's pyramid — sicilian lime, mandarin, coconut, ylang-ylang and jasmine and more. What it does not list: white bergamot, ginger, hibiscus and sugar cane; and it adds sicilian bergamot of its own.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
