The review
On paper, #By Accident is a reasonable bet if you want Caban for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Caban's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
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 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 bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper, turns to iris, violet and geranium, and settles into cedar, vetiver and patchouli. That is the brief #By Accident is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- cardamom
- pink pepper
Heart
- iris
- violet
- geranium
Base
- cedar
- vetiver
- patchouli
Dry cedar and iris, sober and tailored like the navy coat it is named for.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
