Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Citrus Water lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Mefisto.

Montagne Parfums sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mefisto's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $40 it costs 88% less than Mefisto.
