Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Eau Capitale lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Eau Capitale.
The Essence Vault sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Eau Capitale's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $32 per 100ml it costs 85% less than Eau Capitale — the cheapest of 3 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.
