Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Sensing Blue lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Costa Azzurra.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Costa Azzurra'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 60% less than Costa Azzurra — the 4th 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: myrtle, seaweed and driftwood up top, oakmoss, vetiver and cypress in the middle, labdanum, olibanum and amber underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Costa Azzurra.

Top

  • myrtle
  • seaweed
  • driftwood

Heart

  • oakmoss
  • vetiver
  • cypress

Base

  • labdanum
  • olibanum
  • amber
Salty driftwood, herbs and moss evoking a sun-warmed rocky shore; green, woody and coastal.

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