The review
Worth a try. That is where Synthetic lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Jicky.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Jicky'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 $89 per 100ml it costs 29% less than Jicky — 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
What it is chasing: lavender, bergamot and mandarin orange up top, orris, jasmine and rose in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and civet underneath — the shape of Guerlain Jicky.
Top
- lavender
- bergamot
- mandarin orange
Heart
- orris
- jasmine
- rose
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- civet
Lavender and civet over Guerlinade vanilla; strange, animal and still shockingly modern.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
