Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

At $24 per 100ml it costs 92% less than Godolphin — the cheapest of 3 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 Pendora Scents 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

What it is chasing: saffron, thyme and blackcurrant up top, rose, cypriol and mate in the middle, leather, incense and patchouli underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Godolphin.

Top

  • saffron
  • thyme
  • blackcurrant

Heart

  • rose
  • cypriol
  • mate

Base

  • leather
  • incense

A dark, smoky leather-and-rose composition wrapped in saffron and incense for cold-weather sophistication.

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