The review

On paper, Sour Spice is a reasonable bet if you want Cologne for less.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cologne's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

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 lemon, bergamot and orange, turns to neroli, orange blossom and jasmine, and settles into white musk, amber and cedar. That is the brief Sour Spice is working from.

Top

  • lemon
  • bergamot
  • orange

Heart

  • neroli
  • orange blossom
  • jasmine

Base

  • white musk
  • amber
  • cedar
A straight lemon-neroli cologne from the house of provocation, the joke being there is none.

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