The review
Double Black scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Back to Black.
Paris Corner sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Back to Black's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $48 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Back to Black — the cheapest of 6 twins we can price.
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 Paris Corner 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
By Kilian Back to Black is bergamot, coriander and nutmeg at first, honey, tobacco leaf and cherry at its heart and vanilla, cedarwood and sandalwood at the end. Paris Corner set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Sticky honey and cherry pipe tobacco, a slow, syrupy vice of a fragrance.
