The review
Royalty Not Needed scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Princess.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Princess's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $122 per 100ml it costs 45% less than Princess — the 8th cheapest of 10 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
By Kilian Princess is bergamot and neroli at first, orange blossom and marshmallow at its heart and vanilla, musk and Tonka Bean at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- neroli
Heart

Base

- musk
- Tonka Bean
Fizzy neroli over marshmallow vanilla, sunny and sugared without tipping into cloying.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
