The review
Promise scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Promise.
Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Promise's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $200 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Promise — the 3rd cheapest of 3 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
Frédéric Malle Promise is cinnamon and cardamom at first, rose and agarwood (oud) at its heart and sandalwood, cistus and ambrette at the end. Oil Perfumery set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- cinnamon
- cardamom
Heart
- rose
- agarwood (oud)
Base
- sandalwood
- cistus
- ambrette
Cinnamon-dusted rose over oud and sandalwood — warm, spicy and enveloping.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 5 twins of Frédéric Malle Promise we can price, Promise is number 3 on price per 100ml.
