Worth a try

The review

Worth a try. That is where Poor Guy lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Pour Homme.

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

At $127 per 100ml it costs 58% less than Pour Homme — the 14th cheapest of 15 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

What it is chasing: mandarin orange, bergamot and neroli up top, lavender, sage and cedar in the middle, tobacco, Tonka Bean and amber underneath — the shape of Dolce&Gabbana Pour Homme.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • bergamot
  • neroli

Heart

  • lavender
  • sage
  • cedar

Base

  • tobacco
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Lavender and sage over tobacco and tonka, mannerly and quietly old-fashioned.

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