The review

On paper, Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic is a strong bet if you want Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic for less.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 96% less than Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes 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

The original opens on bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, turns to rose, nutmeg and saffron, and settles into oud, sandalwood and amber. That is the brief Chasing the Dragon Hypnotic is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • cardamom
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • rose
  • nutmeg
  • saffron

Base

  • oud
  • sandalwood
  • amber
Saffron and nutmeg over oud and amber, dense, dark and deliberately intoxicating.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
