How these were picked

Ranked by shared notes, counting rare notes for more than the vanilla and musk nearly everything has, and base notes for more than the opening. A price tier is a band (budget, designer, premium, niche, luxury), not an exact price. “Sold as a dupe” means the catalogue records it as an imitation; the rest only match on paper.
