The review

Worth a try. That is where Penultimate Letter II For Men 2037 lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Y Le Parfum.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y Le Parfum'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 18% less than Y Le Parfum — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.
