The review

Cinema #96 scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Cinéma.

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

Strength: perfume oil, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $36 per 100ml it costs 66% less than Cinéma — the cheapest of 2 twins we can price.

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 Dupe Spot 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

Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma is amaryllis, cyclamen and clementine at first, jasmine, peony and almond blossom at its heart and amber, vanilla and musk at the end. The Dupe Spot set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • amaryllis
  • cyclamen
  • clementine

Heart

Base

  • vanilla
  • musk
Almond blossom and amber, soft-focus and warmly cinematic.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
