Ich habe KL nicht mehr in der Nase, aber soweit ich mich erinnere war Obsession for Men aus dem selben Jahr recht ähnlich. Dazu ein Basenoter (RJR):
"If the pyramids from JaimeB and Basenotes are to be believed — and I believe them — these two fragrances share many notes. There are notes not shared, of course, but to the nose, these are twin brothers, born together in 1986, and I'd bet that most people (Basenoters excluded) wouldn't be able to tell them apart in a sniff test.
There are differences, but they owe to personality, not essence. Obsession certainly isn't meek, but it doesn't jump off the skin quite as boldly as KL homme does when both are freshly applied. On the other hand (or arm, in my personal testing) KL homme dries to a smoother middle and finish than its brother. While the spice in Obsession continues to stick up like a sharp tack piercing the other elements during the heart and dry down, the spice in KL homme blends with the surrounding notes to create a velvety, soothing quality.
.....Truth is,KL homme and Obsession both deserve thumbs up and a place in your wardrobe. But if cost is an issue, having just one of them will suffice."
Ich erinnere KL als ziemlich schwere würzig-orientalische Angelegenheit. Falls mich meine Erinnerung nicht trügt, könnte ich mir vorstellen dass auch JHL von Aramis - ebenfalls aus derselben Zeit, aber Gottseidank erneut lanciert - eine Alternative sein könnte.
