Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Hallucination lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Psychedelic Love.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Psychedelic Love'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 54% less than Psychedelic Love — the 4th cheapest of 6 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.

What it is chasing: pink pepper, saffron and incense up top, tuberose and rose in the middle, benzoin, patchouli and vanilla underneath — the shape of Initio Psychedelic Love.
