The review
Worth a try. That is where Pioneer lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Explorer.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Explorer's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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.
