Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where #Ego lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Égoïste.

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

At $33 it costs 73% less than Égoïste.

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

What it is chasing: coriander, tangerine and mandarin orange up top, rose, rosewood and carnation in the middle, sandalwood, vanilla and amber underneath — the shape of Chanel Égoïste.

Cinnamon-dusted rose over creamy sandalwood and vanilla, theatrical and utterly distinctive.
