Candidates are scored on shared notes (weighted so rare materials count for more than common ones like musk), how closely the base and heart match, and overall accord similarity. Nothing has been smelled side by side — this is a structural comparison of what these fragrances are made of. A high match means they are built from similar materials, not that they are indistinguishable on skin.
