The review
Mexican Wood scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Eau de Cologne.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Eau de Cologne'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 55% less than Eau de Cologne — the cheapest of 1 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
Chanel Eau de Cologne is lemon, bergamot and neroli at first, petitgrain, orange blossom and rose at its heart and musk, amber and vetiver at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- lemon
- bergamot
- neroli
Heart
- petitgrain
- orange blossom
- rose
Base
- musk
- amber
- vetiver
A textbook citrus cologne executed with Chanel materials, brief and immaculate.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
