The review

Black Dragon scores 6.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Wulóng Chá.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Wulóng Chá'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 43% less than Wulóng Chá — the 3rd 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 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

Nishane Wulóng Chá is ginger, cardamom and bergamot at first, oolong tea, tobacco and jasmine at its heart and guaiac wood, patchouli and amber at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • ginger
  • cardamom
  • bergamot

Heart

  • oolong tea
  • tobacco
  • jasmine

Base

  • guaiac wood
  • patchouli
  • amber
Ginger-spiked oolong smoked over guaiac, contemplative and quietly expensive smelling.

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 4 twins of Nishane Wulóng Chá we can price, Black Dragon is number 3 on price per 100ml.
