FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Creative For Men 1030 scores 5.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Y Eau de Parfum Intense.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y Eau de Parfum Intense'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 $89 per 100ml it costs 18% less than Y Eau de Parfum Intense — the cheapest of 1 twins we can price.

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

Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum Intense is bergamot, cardamom and lavender at first, sage, geranium and juniper berries at its heart and Tonka Bean, cedar and amberwood at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • cardamom
  • lavender

Heart

  • sage
  • geranium
  • juniper berries

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • cedar
  • amberwood
The Y signature pushed into warmer spice and tonka, denser and more nocturnal than the EDP.
