Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

At $125 per 100ml it costs 72% less than Shanghai Lily — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
