FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Eagle Star scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Althaïr.

Scentual Obsessions lists 10 of the 12 notes in Althaïr's pyramid — cinnamon, orange blossom, cardamom, bergamot and bourbon vanilla and more. What it does not list: ambroxan and tonka; and it adds ambrox and tonka bean of its own.

At $143 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Althaïr — the 25th cheapest of 25 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 Scentual Obsessions 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

Parfums de Marly Althaïr is cinnamon, orange blossom and cardamom at first, bourbon vanilla and elemi at its heart and praline, musk and Ambroxan at the end. Scentual Obsessions set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Cinnamon and cardamom over bourbon vanilla, landing on praline and candied almond — a warm gourmand built for cold weather.

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