The review
On paper, Easterner is a strong bet if you want Chergui for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Chergui'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 81% less than Chergui — 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
The original opens on tobacco leaf and hay, turns to honey, iris and rose, and settles into amber, incense and sandalwood. That is the brief Easterner is working from.
Top
- tobacco leaf
- hay
Heart
- honey
- iris
- rose
Base
- amber
- incense
- sandalwood
For the one who craves a warm desert wind of honeyed tobacco and hay, smoothed by iris, amber and soft sandalwood.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
