The review

On paper, Saintly Smell For Men 1261 is a reasonable bet if you want A*Men Ultra Zest for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is A*Men Ultra Zest'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 29% less than A*Men Ultra Zest — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

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 mandarin orange, bergamot and ginger, turns to candied orange, caramel and coffee, and settles into patchouli, vanilla and Tonka Bean. That is the brief Saintly Smell For Men 1261 is working from.
