The review
On paper, Chicago is a reasonable bet if you want For Men for less.
Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is For Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 63% less than For Men — the 3rd cheapest of 12 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Noted Aromas 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 ginger, bergamot and lemon leaf, turns to tobacco leaf, pepper and violet, and settles into amber, patchouli and leather. That is the brief Chicago is working from.
Top
- ginger
- bergamot
- lemon leaf
Heart
- tobacco leaf
- pepper
- violet
Base
- amber
- patchouli
- leather
A smooth spicy skin scent of tobacco, violet and warm woods; refined, intimate and understated.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 14 twins of Tom Ford For Men we can price, Chicago is number 3 on price per 100ml.
