The review

Red Roses scores 5.5 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Red Roses.

Oil Perfumery sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Red Roses's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $133 per 100ml it costs 47% less than Red Roses — the 5th cheapest of 5 twins we can price.

Evidence7.0

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

Jo Malone London Red Roses is lemon and mint at first, rose and violet at its heart and honey and musk at the end. Oil Perfumery set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
