A long shot
FragDNA score · on paper
The review
Abode of Love For Women scores 4.9 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Shalimar.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Shalimar'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 $122 per 100ml it costs 9% less than Shalimar — the 3rd cheapest of 4 twins we can price.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour 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
Guerlain Shalimar is bergamot, lemon and cedar at first, iris, jasmine and rose at its heart and vanilla, Tonka Bean and opoponax at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Smoky lemon-vanilla haze over leathered iris; the fragrance every amber owes its existence to.
