The review
On paper, Francis is a reasonable bet if you want Gentleman Eau de Parfum for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gentleman Eau de Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 pear, cardamom and bergamot, turns to iris, lavender and orange blossom, and settles into black vanilla, patchouli and leather. That is the brief Francis is working from.
Top
- pear
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- iris
- lavender
- orange blossom
Base
- black vanilla
- patchouli
- leather
Powdery iris over dark vanilla and patchouli; smooth, expensive-smelling and hugely popular.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
