The review
On paper, Breakfast in Haarlem is a strong bet if you want New Haarlem for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 6 of the 10 notes in New Haarlem's pyramid — bergamot, lavender, coffee, patchouli and vanilla and more. What it does not list: green notes, almond, cedar and musk; and it adds green leaves, cedarwood and amber of its own.
At $140 per 100ml it costs 91% less than New Haarlem — the 4th cheapest of 4 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.

The original opens on bergamot, lavender and green notes, turns to coffee, almond and patchouli, and settles into vanilla, Tonka Bean and cedar. That is the brief Breakfast in Haarlem is working from.
