The review
New Haarlem scores 7.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing New Haarlem.
Pearl Fragrance sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is New Haarlem's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $38 per 100ml it costs 96% less than New Haarlem — the cheapest of 4 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 Pearl Fragrance 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
Bond No. 9 New Haarlem is bergamot, lavender and green notes at first, coffee, almond and patchouli at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and cedar at the end. Pearl Fragrance set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Maurice Roucel's coffee-drenched vanilla, the gourmand that half of New York has tried to copy.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
