The review

Strong contender. That is where Nocturno Elixir lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif.

Rayhaan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

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

At $25 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Bleu de Chanel L'Exclusif — the cheapest of 5 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.
