The review

On paper, Bombay Talkies is a reasonable bet if you want Radio Bombay for less.

The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Radio Bombay's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Evidence7.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength The Dua Brand 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 sandalwood and cypress, turns to copper and iris, and settles into cedar, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief Bombay Talkies is working from.

Creamy sandalwood and hot copper wiring — a transistor radio glowing in an Indian afternoon.
