Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Sahara Noir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Sahara Noir.

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

At $133 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Sahara Noir — the 3rd cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Heavy frankincense and myrrh melting into honeyed amber; a bold, church-like resinous statement.
