ISO fragrance doppelgänger

April 3, 2018 1:29 PM

Looking for a dupe for a men’s cologne by Crabtree & Evelyn called Sienna (discontinued in 1990 :/).

Ideally shouldn’t have a strong alcohol smell. There are lots of notes in it - all are wanted but especially sandalwood. Thanks in advance!

Best answer: It sounds like another Sienna fan found joy with a scent called "Muske" from a company called Royall Lyme, but also with Pierre Cardin's scent in a pinch.

But if you really want the real thing and money is no object, there are people selling the real deal on Ebay...

Response by poster: Money’s a a bit of an object, good point :) I’d like to cap it at $100 CAD, ideally (but not absolutely). (I guess it was established 1990 & discontinued in 2013, which explains why it’s still kicking around on eBay. I did find a lone bottle for a reasonable price at a little store in Quebec, not sure I’d get that lucky again! So a replacement must be found.) Thanks for your suggestions, EC!

Best answer: Fragrantica users suggest that it smells like Aramis Devin or Burberry for Men.

Best answer: Could you email them and ask? I think they merely renamed the shaving cream that I liked around that time, which now has a camel on the container.
