Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Darley'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 $114 per 100ml it costs 56% less than Darley — the 2nd cheapest of 2 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 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: pear and bergamot up top, cinnamon and rose in the middle, amber, sandalwood and vanilla underneath — the shape of Parfums de Marly Darley.

Top

  • pear
  • bergamot

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • rose

Base

  • amber
  • sandalwood
  • vanilla
Juicy pear and cinnamon settle into amber and sandalwood for a soft, warm masculine.

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

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 3 twins of Parfums de Marly Darley we can price, Beast is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Lattafa Ansaam Gold $50/100ml
  2. 02 Perfume Parlour Beast $114/100ml
  3. 03 Palermo Perfumes Darley $22.75
