The review

Worth a try. That is where Tailor Essence lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Sartorial.

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

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $83 per 100ml it costs 49% less than Sartorial — the cheapest of 2 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.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: aldehydes, ozonic notes and violet leaf up top, beeswax, cyclamen and lavender in the middle, oakmoss, Tonka Bean and vetiver underneath — the shape of Penhaligon's Sartorial.
