The review
On paper, Tender Toy is a reasonable bet if you want Terrible Teddy for less.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Terrible Teddy'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 $114 per 100ml it costs 52% less than Terrible Teddy — 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
The original opens on grapefruit, bergamot and violet leaf, turns to geranium, nutmeg and clary sage, and settles into vetiver, cedar and musk. That is the brief Tender Toy is working from.
Top
- grapefruit
- bergamot
- violet leaf
Heart
- geranium
- nutmeg
- clary sage
Base
- vetiver
- cedar
- musk
Grapefruit and violet leaf over vetiver, the family's brightest and least trustworthy son.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
