The review

On paper, Paris #417 is a strong bet if you want Paris for less.

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

It is sold as a perfume oil — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

At $36 per 100ml it costs 64% less than Paris — the 4th cheapest of 7 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

The original opens on violet, bergamot and geranium, turns to rose, violet and iris, and settles into sandalwood, musk and amber. That is the brief Paris #417 is working from.

  • violet
  • bergamot
  • geranium

Base

  • musk
  • amber
Enormous violet-dusted rose, romantic and unashamedly maximal.

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