Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Red Number lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Rose 31.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Rose 31'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 $122 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Rose 31 — the 5th cheapest of 6 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: rose, cumin and bourbon vetiver up top, cedar, agarwood (oud) and guaiac wood in the middle, amber, musk and olibanum underneath — the shape of Le Labo Rose 31.

Top

  • rose
  • cumin
  • bourbon vetiver

Heart

  • cedar
  • agarwood (oud)
  • guaiac wood

Base

  • amber
  • musk
  • olibanum
For the one who wears rose like armor, letting cumin, cedar and incense strip away every trace of sweetness into something defiantly androgynous.

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

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 11 twins of Le Labo Rose 31 we can price, Red Number is number 5 on price per 100ml.
