The review

Worth a try. That is where Malay Aklan lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Millesime Imperial.

Montagne Parfums lists 4 of the 8 notes in Millesime Imperial's pyramid — bergamot, iris, sicilian lemon and musk. What it does not list: sea salt, marine notes, mandarin orange and woody notes; and it adds mandarin, amber and sandalwood of its own.

Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
