How to read this table
A seller claim means the clone house itself published that the product is inspired by Paragon. We quote the claim; we have not smelled the bottles. A community pairing means the seller does not name the original and the match comes from reviewer consensus, graded close or moderate.
Price per ml is the honest comparison. Perfume oils look cheap per bottle but come in 10 ml vials; a 100 ml Middle-Eastern EDP at $35 is $0.35/ml and usually the strongest performer in the group. Extraits from clone houses sit in between.
