The review
On paper, Paramour is a reasonable bet if you want French Lover for less.
The Dua Brand sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is French Lover'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 angelica, juniper and pepper, turns to incense and galbanum, and settles into cedar and vetiver. That is the brief Paramour is working from.
Top
- angelica
- juniper
- pepper
Heart
- incense
- galbanum
Base
- cedar
- vetiver
Cool angelica and incense over dry cedar — cerebral, green and quietly commanding.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
