The dupe that makes the original look overpriced — and actually earns that reputation.

The take

What works

  • 90% accuracy to PdM Herod at 1/12th of the price — community consensus
  • Often reported to have better longevity than the $295 original
  • Cinnamon-tobacco-vanilla done exactly right for $22

Trade-offs

  • Osmanthus mid lacks the same refinement as the original
  • Fall/winter only — there's no point in owning this for summer
