Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Carnal Gray lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Gris Charnel.
Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gris Charnel's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $45 it costs 84% less than Gris Charnel.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Heart

Base

For the one who lingers over spiced black tea and fig, an elegant, creamy woody-powdery scent balancing cardamom, iris and soft sandalwood.
