The review
On paper, Madagascar is a strong bet if you want Vanille Fatale for less.
Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Vanille Fatale's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Vanille Fatale — the 2nd cheapest of 8 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 black pepper, saffron and cardamom, turns to vanilla, incense and praline, and settles into sandalwood, cedar and amber. That is the brief Madagascar is working from.
Top
- black pepper
- saffron
- cardamom
Heart
- vanilla
- incense
- praline
Base
- sandalwood
- cedar
- amber
Vanilla rendered dark and smoky with spice and incense; opulent, warm and anything but simple.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
