The review

Citrus Hibiscus scores 5.7 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Sorrel & Lemon Thyme.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Sorrel & Lemon Thyme'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 $83 per 100ml it costs 34% less than Sorrel & Lemon Thyme — the 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

Jo Malone London Sorrel & Lemon Thyme is lemon, petitgrain and orange at first, rosemary, thyme and rumex at its heart and moss and geranium at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • lemon
  • petitgrain
  • orange

Heart

  • rosemary

  • rumex

Base

  • moss
  • geranium
Lemon thyme and sorrel straight from the herb bed, bracingly green and bitter-fresh.

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