The review

Mandarino Di Amalfi scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Mandarino di Amalfi.

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

At $32 per 100ml it costs 88% less than Mandarino di Amalfi — the cheapest of 10 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.

What it's built to smell like

Tom Ford Mandarino di Amalfi is mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot at first, jasmine, mint and black currant at its heart and amber, benzoin and civet at the end. The Essence Vault set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

  • mandarin orange
  • lemon

Juicy mandarin and citrus with herbs and a warm base; a radiant, refined coastal summer scent.
