A long shot

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

A long shot. That is where Desert de Afrique 0261 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to L'Air du Désert Marocain.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is L'Air du Désert Marocain'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 $122 per 100ml it costs 6% less than L'Air du Désert Marocain — the 2nd cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
