Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Noir Bar lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Black Gold.

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

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

At $89 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Black Gold — 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

What it is chasing: saffron, bergamot and pink pepper up top, rose, jasmine and labdanum in the middle, oud, amber and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Ormonde Jayne Black Gold.

Top

  • saffron
  • bergamot
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • rose
  • jasmine
  • labdanum

Base

  • oud

Saffron and rose sunk into oud and amber, the densest thing on the Old Bond Street shelf.

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