YSL Y, Born in Roma and Erba Pura's Xerjoff siblings — the alternatives, and what they cost today
Our earlier posts covered the alternatives to Aventus, Baccarat Rouge 540 and Erba Pura, among others. This one covers five more popular bottles: YSL Y, Valentino's Born in Roma, and three of Erba Pura's siblings from Xerjoff. Some have a long list in our data and some a short one; we list what we hold and no more.
We do not say how close any of them smell. A percentage below is PickMyClone's own "% Match" for the pair. "Named by" means a seller listing or a published article we read says the bottle is inspired by the original; each original's clones page lists the sources.
Every price on this page is read when the page loads: the lowest price we currently hold at the bottle's main size, before shipping.

Before you buy
A name on a list is a claim, not a promise; two bottles named after the same original can smell quite different. Sizes differ, so compare the size as well as the price on each fragrance page. The Clone Finder lists the bottles named after any fragrance, and a Price Alert tells you when one reaches your price.
