Clones and dupes inspired by:

The Sniff Test is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or approved by Boucheron. Brand and product names are used only to identify the fragrance being reviewed and compared.

Inspired-By Comparison
Every clone rated on similarity and performance. Oils and sprays are priced on separate lines, because a millilitre of oil is not a millilitre of spray.
Oil is undiluted, so a millilitre of oil holds several times more fragrance than a millilitre of spray. Each format is ranked on its own.
Each line shows one size: a 50ml spray (30ml, or the nearest size, when the vendor has no 50ml) and the oil closest to 10ml. Vendors also sell other sizes, including samples and bulk.
Prices are converted to your selected currency at recent exchange rates. Vendors bill in their own currency, so the amount you are charged may differ slightly.

Find the Original
Boucheron Néroli d'Ispahan is the benchmark for this scent profile. Alternatives may be worth comparing, but they are independent products and we do not present them as equivalent to Boucheron's own fragrance.
They do not replace the original fragrance, its presentation, or the version created under the brand's own quality control. If that is what you are looking for, search the official site or trusted retailers below.

The fragrance these clones are inspired by.
Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin, known for crisp, naturalistic citrus and resin treatments, composed Néroli d'Ispahan for Boucheron in 2017. Presented as a fragrance for women and men, it opens on an aromatic spike of elemi with bright ginger and warm cardamom, then moves to a neroli heart colored by pink pepper and the resinous depth of labdanum. The base pairs modern ambroxan and white musk with an earthy patchouli amber finish. Voters give it a solid 3.95 out of 5 from 235 ratings, and 61% view it as unisex; the scent is often described as a fresh spicy neroli with a musky amber drydown that feels distinct within Pellegrin’s output.
Our take
I like how Pellegrin turns neroli into something more than a simple citrus note: the ginger and cardamom make the opening feel more textured while neroli stays central. On my skin it runs from moderate to long-lasting with a medium sillage that gets attention without overwhelming. Some days it dries a little soft and needs a re-spray, and the price feels steep for that inconsistency, but the composition itself is unusual enough that I find it worth a bottle if you want neroli with spice and amber depth.

The Bottle
Boucheron Néroli d'Ispahan comes in a mostly cylindrical bottle with rounded lower edges, pale yellow-green liquid, and a white rectangular label edged in gold-toned detail. The broad white cap and stepped gold-toned neck give this otherwise conventional silhouette a welcome bit of character, while the clear-looking lower section and pale band keep the design visually composed.
Original or Clone
Fabrice Pellegrin's authorship gives Néroli d'Ispahan its clearest reason to stand apart from an interpretation: this is a named composition, not merely a set of accords. Its aromatic, musky, fresh-spicy character has attracted attempts to reproduce it, with three interpretations from two houses currently tracked. That reference status matters, though choosing an interpretation remains reasonable; readers who want the work identified with Pellegrin have a stronger case for the original.
