Clones of Black Walnut Legend

1 clone, ranked by scent match.

How to read the rows. The headline is the scent match: how much of Black Walnut Legend’s scent families the product shares, computed from public note and accord lists, 50% accord overlap plus 50% note overlap. It is not a vote. When people who own both bottles vote here, their verdict replaces the estimate. No note data means the catalogue carries no note list for that bottle. Data as of October 2026.

Where these numbers come from

  • Closeness. No votes cast here yet. The census score appears once people who own both bottles have voted. The closeness share from public polls is deliberately left off: it tracks who voted, not how close the liquids are.
  • Scent family match. How much of Black Walnut Legend’s scent families the product shares, computed from public note and accord lists. 50% accord overlap (broad families like citrus and woody) plus 50% note overlap (shared materials). Not a vote and not a memory test. A copied note list scores high here without proving the liquids smell alike.
  • Texture notes. One line from owners who have worn both, sourced from public reviews. What they notice that no number captures: more citrus, less soap, more energy.
  • Prices. No retailer has a live price for this one yet.
  • Photos. Catalogue photos, hotlinked from the fragrance catalogue.
  • Creator verdicts. One reviewer, one opinion. They are not census votes and they are not counted in the numbers above.

The ranking is never for sale. A house can advertise here, but it cannot buy a position in a census row.
