How this is worked out

Each candidate is scored on three things: how many notes it shares with the original (weighted so rare materials count for more than common ones like musk), how closely the base and heart match — the part that determines the drydown — and how similar the overall accord profile is. Nothing here is based on marketing claims or on anyone’s opinion, and nothing has been smelled side by side. It is a structural comparison of what these fragrances are made of, which is a strong guide but not a guarantee of how they wear.
