The review

On paper, Grim is a reasonable bet if you want Le Male Terrible for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Le Male Terrible'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.

Evidence6.0

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 ginger, mint and bergamot, turns to cinnamon, lavender and cardamom, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and amber. That is the brief Grim is working from.

Top

  • ginger
  • mint
  • bergamot

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • lavender
  • cardamom

Base

  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Fiery ginger and cinnamon over Le Male's vanilla, hotter and more assertive.

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