The review
Jakarta scores 6.2 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Grey Vetiver.
Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Grey Vetiver's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Grey Vetiver — the 2nd cheapest of 11 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
Tom Ford Grey Vetiver is grapefruit, orange and sage at first, vetiver, orris and pimento at its heart and amber, oakmoss and woody notes at the end. Noted Aromas set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- grapefruit
- orange
- sage
Heart
- vetiver
- orris
- pimento
Base
- amber
- oakmoss
- woody notes
Earthy vetiver polished with citrus, iris and spice; clean, elegant and endlessly office-appropriate.
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 13 twins of Tom Ford Grey Vetiver we can price, Jakarta is number 2 on price per 100ml.
