The review
Strong contender. That is where Plum Explosion lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Plum Japonais.
Scentual Obsessions lists 5 of the 11 notes in Plum Japonais's pyramid — plum, saffron, cinnamon, vanilla and oud. What it does not list: davana, osmanthus, camellia and immortelle; and it adds plum blossom, incense and amber of its own.
At $140 per 100ml it costs 84% less than Plum Japonais — the 5th cheapest of 5 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.
