The review

On paper, Modern Code For Men is an outside bet if you want Paradigme for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Paradigme's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

It is $159 per 100ml.

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 bergamot, grapefruit and cardamom, turns to lavender, iris and geranium, and settles into Ambroxan, cedar and vetiver. That is the brief Modern Code For Men is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • grapefruit
  • cardamom

Heart

  • lavender
  • iris
  • geranium

Base

  • Ambroxan
  • cedar
  • vetiver
A cool, ambroxan-driven masculine positioned as Prada's next big men's pillar.
