The review
San Diego scores 6.7 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing My Way.
Noted Aromas sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is My Way's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $33 per 100ml it costs 83% less than My Way — the 6th cheapest of 13 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
Giorgio Armani My Way is orange blossom and bergamot at first, tuberose and jasmine at its heart and cedar, vanilla and white musk at the end. Noted Aromas set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- orange blossom
- bergamot
Heart
- tuberose
- jasmine
Base
- cedar
- vanilla
- white musk
Orange blossom and tuberose over cedar musk, luminous and very wearable.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
