The review
On paper, Resin XVIII is a reasonable bet if you want Labdanum 18 for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Labdanum 18'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 $114 per 100ml it costs 35% less than Labdanum 18 — 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
The original opens on labdanum and orange blossom, turns to castoreum and civet, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and musk. That is the brief Resin XVIII is working from.
Top
- labdanum
- orange blossom
Heart
- castoreum
- civet
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- musk
Labdanum and castoreum thickened with vanilla, warm, furry and almost edible.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
