The review

Pittsburgh Gold scores 5.7 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Born in Roma The Gold Uomo.

Scentual Obsessions lists 2 of the 8 notes in Born in Roma The Gold Uomo's pyramid — solar notes and nutmeg. What it does not list: spices, virginia cedar, violet and vanilla; and it adds spicy notes of its own.

At $140 per 100ml it costs 70% less than Born in Roma The Gold Uomo — the cheapest of 1 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.
