    Not even sure if this is the right forum so feel free to move mods

    Some years back I purchased some perfume for men on the street's of Mumbai that is now rapidily running out. Unfortunately the chances of returning to Mumbai to buy same are not currently an option. So my question is whether or not a perfumist could do some type of analysis on whats left in the attempt to create some more. Failing that long shot idea, what are the chances a perfumist could suggest a close similiarity. I have tried all the usual to try and identify a close match, all to no avail.

    Ideas very much welcomed.

    Can you not just google the name and track it down online?

    Nope, as it was given the name of Drakkar Noir by its enterprenurial street vendor this isnt much to go on unfortunately.

    A quick Google tells me that it is available in boots. €20 for a 50ml.

    I probably didnt make my situation clear. The perfume I purchased in Mumbai is definitely not Drakkar Noir, while it has a little sticker on it saying its Drakkar Noir, the fact remains that it is not.
    So my query centres around the ability of a perfumist to create same fragrance from analysis of what i have left or alternatively to suggest a close alternative.
    Thanks

    Did a search and found this place https://m.facebook.com/parfumarija?refsrc=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.ie%2F&_rdr seems that one of the owners is a perfumist!

    I doubt they will analyse it as it would cost less to go back to mumbai. they will smell it and if they recognise it by smell and sight . Alternatively they will be able to recommend something close to it with similar notes. You could ask on a fragrance board like fragrantica.com, as well.
