The review
On paper, Purple Reign is a reasonable bet if you want Andy Warhol for less.
Scentual Obsessions lists 1 of the 10 notes in Andy Warhol's pyramid — bergamot. What it does not list: pink pepper, mandarin orange, iris and violet; and it adds jamican plum, cypress and citruses of its own.
At $140 per 100ml it costs 91% less than Andy Warhol — the 4th cheapest of 6 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
The original opens on bergamot, pink pepper and mandarin orange, turns to iris, violet and jasmine, and settles into amber, musk and cedar. That is the brief Purple Reign is working from.
