The review
Brilliant Shine scores 6.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Metallique.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Metallique'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 53% less than Metallique — the 3rd cheapest of 4 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
Tom Ford Metallique is bergamot, pink pepper and hyacinth at first, orris, jasmine and ylang-ylang at its heart and benzoin, amber and musk at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- pink pepper
- hyacinth
Heart
- orris
- jasmine
- ylang-ylang
Base
- benzoin
- amber
- musk
A cold, shimmering aldehydic floral over warm amber; icy, powdery and distinctly modern.
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 5 twins of Tom Ford Metallique we can price, Brilliant Shine is number 3 on price per 100ml.
