The review
Back to Black scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Back to Black.
Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Back to Black's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $152 per 100ml it costs 75% less than Back to Black — the 6th cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Oil Perfumery 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
By Kilian Back to Black is bergamot, coriander and nutmeg at first, honey, tobacco leaf and cherry at its heart and vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood at the end. Oil Perfumery set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
