The review

Cuttings scores 5.0 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Seminalis.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Seminalis'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 $159 per 100ml it costs 17% less than Seminalis — the cheapest of 1 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

Orto Parisi Seminalis is floral notes at first, musk and iris at its heart and amber, woody notes and vanilla at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

  • woody notes
  • vanilla
A warm, slightly dirty skin-musk that lives up to its unsubtle name without shouting.

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