About this list
Each match is scored on a weighted overlap of dominant accords (50% of the score), shared notes across all pyramid positions (30%), and shared base notes specifically (20%). Base notes carry weight because they determine what you smell hours into the wear.
"Verified Clone" badges appear on fragrances that the Fragranova community has explicitly mapped to By in our Clone Lab. These are the lowest-risk picks if you're specifically looking for an alternative to the original.
All similarity calculations run on the current state of the Fragranova catalog. As new fragrances are added and community ratings refine, ranks may shift.
