The review
Strong contender. That is where Amber Oud Marien lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Marienbad.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Marienbad'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 54% less than Marienbad — the cheapest of 1 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
What it is chasing: bergamot and plum up top, rose, orris and tolu balsam in the middle, oud, leather and amber underneath — the shape of Prada Marienbad.
Top
- bergamot
- plum
Heart
- rose
- orris
- tolu balsam
Base
- oud
- leather
- amber
Plum and rose falling through leather into oud, the darkest thing Prada has bottled.
