The review

Skin Games scores 6.1 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Jeux de Peau.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Jeux de Peau'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 $83 per 100ml it costs 45% less than Jeux de Peau — 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

Serge Lutens Jeux de Peau is toasted bread, milk and apricot at first, licorice, osmanthus and immortelle at its heart and sandalwood, musk and coconut at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • toasted bread
  • milk
  • apricot

Heart

  • licorice
  • osmanthus

Base

  • sandalwood
  • musk
  • coconut
Buttered toast and warm milk over sandalwood, the strangest and most literal gourmand.

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