Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Maneater lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Vanille Fatale.

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

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

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

What it is chasing: black pepper, saffron and cardamom up top, vanilla, incense and praline in the middle, sandalwood, cedar and amber underneath — the shape of Tom Ford Vanille Fatale.

Top

  • black pepper
  • saffron
  • cardamom

Heart

  • vanilla
  • incense
  • praline

Base

  • sandalwood
  • cedar
  • amber
Vanilla rendered dark and smoky with spice and incense; opulent, warm and anything but simple.

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