Plum and Honey

Prada Paradoxe carries White musk and Benzoin in its base that Dossier Ambery Neroli leaves out, and Dossier Ambery Neroli lists Plum and Honey that the original doesn't — a substitution rather than a straight omission.

The analysis

Buy the dupe. Of Prada Paradoxe's 10 notes Dossier Ambery Neroli carries 5: orange blossom, neroli and jasmine sambac. Missing: white musk and benzoin. Dossier Ambery Neroli drops white musk and benzoin from the base, so they part late. Plus plum and honey, which Prada Paradoxe doesn't list. That is 21% of Prada Paradoxe's price — $32 against $151.
