The review

On paper, Notorious is a strong bet if you want Fahrenheit for less.

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

At $24 per 100ml it costs 82% less than Fahrenheit — the 5th cheapest of 20 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

The original opens on mandarin orange, bergamot and lavender, turns to violet leaf, nutmeg and cedar, and settles into leather, vetiver and musk. That is the brief Notorious is working from.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • bergamot
  • lavender

Heart

  • violet leaf
  • nutmeg
  • cedar

Base

  • leather
  • vetiver
  • musk
For the one who refuses to blend in, this petrol-tinged violet-leather landmark polarizes rooms and rewards the bold with unmistakable eighties swagger.

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