The review
Strong contender. That is where 3 Rivers lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Carlisle.
Scentual Obsessions lists 10 of the 10 notes in Carlisle's pyramid — green apple, saffron, nutmeg, tonka bean and osmanthus and more, which is the whole brief.
At $140 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Carlisle — the 6th cheapest of 7 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.
