Worth a try

The review

Worth a try. That is where Fame lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Fame.

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

At $32 per 100ml it costs 68% less than Fame — the cheapest of 8 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 Essence Vault 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

What it is chasing: mango and bergamot up top, jasmine and orange blossom in the middle, incense, sandalwood and vanilla underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Fame.

  • mango

Heart
