FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, His Ideal Parfum is a reasonable bet if you want L'Homme Idéal for less.

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

At $33 it costs 65% less than L'Homme Idéal.

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, lemon and rosemary, turns to almond, orange blossom and rose, and settles into Tonka Bean, leather and sandalwood. That is the brief His Ideal Parfum is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • lemon
  • rosemary

Heart

  • almond
  • orange blossom
  • rose

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • leather
  • sandalwood
Bitter almond and citrus over tonka leather; polished, easy and instantly likeable.
