Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Fast Rate scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing High Frequency.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is High Frequency'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 67% less than High Frequency — the 2nd cheapest of 3 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

Initio High Frequency is bergamot and orange blossom at first, jasmine and tuberose at its heart and musk, sandalwood and vanilla at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • orange blossom

Heart

  • jasmine
  • tuberose

Base

  • musk
  • sandalwood
  • vanilla
Bright orange blossom, jasmine and tuberose over soft musk for a glowing floral aura.

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