Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Close For Men lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to X For Men.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is X For Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

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.
