Which two scents are the closest to identical?

[mesaboogie]

Creed Original Santal and Mont Blanc Individuel are incredibly close, I'd say 99% as well.
Rive Gauche PH and Ruehl No 925 Signature are near identical at 99.9% similar.

[Jason91]

Mont Blanc Legend, to me, smells identical to Abercrombie and Fitch Fierce.. So much that I had to exchange Legend because A&F lasts longer on my skin and dries down better.

[Trauerkraut]

Sycomore/Encre Noire

[El_Guapo]

Creed Original Vetiver and Mont Blanc Individuel are incredibly close, I'd say 99% as well.
Rive Gauche PH and Ruehl No 925 Signature are near identical at 99.9% similar.

I think you mean Santal not Vetiver

Wow, 32 posts and no one mentioned AdG and Perry Ellis Red?

Eau Duelle and Spiritueuse Double Vanille

[SteelerOpera]

GIT and Cool Water.
MI and Unforgiveable.

+1 for these and to my nose MontBlanc Legend and A&F Fierce are very close

Bvlgari Black

VC&A Midnight in Paris

Yes Santal. I was going to mention original vetiver and mugler cologne and got the names mixed up.

I was thinking the same thing. I didn't mention it because it's not my top pick, but no doubt they are very close.

I find Original Santal and Individuel pretty similar. OS is richer and a little spicier to my nose, but similar nonetheless.

[QWERTYOP]

I agree with a lot of the ones already posted.

I would also add:

Clive Christian C ~ Tom Ford Tuscan Leather

Completely agree. Smelt this in Selfridges the other day and the SA was babbling on about how unique it was, and the first thing I said was "It really reminds me of Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford". She went quiet... Her stall wasn't selling any of the (much cheaper) Tom Ford Private Blend range.

Creed Original Santal and Joop Homme

- - - Updated - - -

Paco XS = Himalaya

[jasonx]

WestSide = Noir de Noir
A la Nuit = Jasmal
Nemo = Antidote

[Ken_Russell]

Various scents nowadays seem to copy Paco Rabanne One Million, including Antonio Banderas Golden Secret and Zara Gold

[MikeFromManhattan]

Versace PH and Chanel Allure Homme Sport

[Dry_Martini]

ADP Essenza = eau sauvage

[Slayerized]

- Paco 1 Million to Antonio Banderas Golden Secret but als 'The Secret' which is AB another scent that is smelling like 1 Million!
- Versace pour homme and Chanel Allure Homme Sport
- Himalaya = Paco XS (not! Black XS)

and:

- Cuba Black is exactly like a less rich Azzaro pour homme!

[Bigsly]

Yatagan and Les Copains Homme (closer to vintage Yatagan, apparently).

[PradaG]

Perry Ellis white = Le male 96.97698%

[Profumo Saggio]

Caesars Man and Drakkar Noir are very close. CM is a little greener but for those who know Drakkar only casually, you could get away with the much cheaper Caesars.

Molecule 02 and JHAG's Not a Perfume.

I win!

+1 This is what I came to say

[darren1]

Caesars Man and Drakkar Noir are very close. CM is a little greener but for those who know Drakkar only casually, you could get away with the much cheaper Caesars.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyep!

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

Molecule 02 and JHAG's Not a Perfume.

I win!

That's so interesting! This is one I've been meaning to try. JHAG's Not a Perfume is listed as "for women" whereas Molecule 02 is listed as unisex. I realize that's just marketing, but still, it's interesting. I guess it's impossible to prevent anyone from selling diluted Ambroxan as a scent.

Versace pour homme and Chanel Allure Homme Sport

Personally, I don't find them to be that similar. AHS has a more fruity/citric candy sweetness whereas Vph is floral. Both are worth sampling, that's for sure!

[MFfan310]

Three more sets:

Le Male and Cuba Gold and Perry Ellis 360 White
Chanel Platinum Egoiste and A&F Fierce
Express Reserve and D&G The One

[lovingthealien]

Tom Ford's Italian Cypress and Halston Z-14 are exactly the same fragrance.

[Wheelman]

Chanel Allure Homme & Polo Big Pony #4. There is a central accord that's very similar for both, though CAH has more complexity or "decoration" surrounding the center.

For me, Gucci pour Homme II has a similar center, but it is much more complex than the above, so much so that the "decoration" predominates much of the time.

I would like to know if that's really an "accord" I'm smelling as the dominant thing, or is it one specific note.
