Worth a try

The review

Worth a try. That is where Word Of Honour lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Promise.

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

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

At $159 per 100ml it costs 40% less than Promise — the 2nd cheapest of 3 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: cinnamon and cardamom up top, rose and agarwood (oud) in the middle, sandalwood, cistus and ambrette underneath — the shape of Frédéric Malle Promise.

Top

  • cinnamon
  • cardamom

Heart

  • rose
  • agarwood (oud)

Base

  • sandalwood
  • cistus
  • ambrette
Cinnamon-dusted rose over oud and sandalwood — warm, spicy and enveloping.

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

How it ranks against the other twins

Of the 5 twins of Frédéric Malle Promise we can price, Word Of Honour is number 2 on price per 100ml.

  1. 01 Scentual Obsessions Word Is Bond $143/100ml
  2. 02 Perfume Parlour Word Of Honour $159/100ml
  3. 03 Oil Perfumery Promise $200/100ml
  4. 04 Palermo Perfumes Promise $22.75
  5. 05 Bujairami Al Waad inspired $32.50
