How we find these

Osmagora compares the full note profile of Nanban, its top, heart and base notes, against every fragrance in the library, and ranks them by how much they genuinely share. The figure shown is that note overlap, kept deliberately conservative. These are scents in the same spirit, not cheaper copies or marketing lookalikes. Where nothing clears our bar, we say so plainly rather than dress a weak match as a strong one.
