The review

Italian Fruit scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Mandarino di Amalfi.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mandarino di Amalfi'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 63% less than Mandarino di Amalfi — the 8th cheapest of 10 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

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot at first, jasmine, mint and black currant at its heart and amber, benzoin and civet at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • lemon

Heart

  • jasmine
  • mint
  • black currant

Base

  • amber
  • benzoin

Juicy mandarin and citrus with herbs and a warm base; a radiant, refined coastal summer scent.

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