The review

On paper, Drama Queen is a strong bet if you want Scandal for less.

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

It is sold as an eau de parfum, the strength most designer originals are sold at.

At $37 it costs 91% less than Scandal.

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 Scent Labz 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 bergamot, aldehydes and peach, turns to jasmine, rose and orris, and settles into oakmoss, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Drama Queen is working from.

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