Tumi Atlas

You can buy the genuine Tumi Atlas straight from FragranceShop.com. The real bottle comes first; the accessible alternatives below are there if you'd rather spend less.

Tumi Atlas opens with Bergamot and Ambroxan; a heart of Labdanum and Geranium; drying down to Vetiver, Sandalwood and Oakmoss, from notes Nordstrom publishes. Those notes read as citrus, spicy, aromatic, amber, woody, the coarse families Nordstrom cites. How it wears depends on your skin and the concentration. We only publish notes and accords we can trace to a source.

The genuine Tumi Atlas runs $40.95 at FragranceShop.com as of this page's last update, though retailers set their own prices and change them.

We rank the "smells-like" alternatives to Atlas by how closely their cited accords match the original, cheapest first. A dupe is meant to evoke Atlas, not match its formula, and we say as much. If we can't verify a genuine match yet, we leave it off.

Tumi Atlas is listed as a men's fragrance by the retailer. That's a marketing label, not a rule: fragrance has no gender, and plenty of "men's" scents are worn by anyone. We show how it's sold and leave the wearing to you.

Armaf Club De Nuit Urban Man Elixir (shares Labdanum, Ambroxan, Geranium); Creed Green Irish Tweed (shares Ambroxan, Geranium, Oakmoss); Guy Laroche Drakkar Noir (shares Geranium, Oakmoss, Vetiver). These share specific notes with Atlas, a closer match than a shared accord family. We rank them by how many of Atlas's cited notes they actually share, weighting rarer notes heavier than ubiquitous ones. Each is its own fragrance with real, sourced notes, not a copy of Atlas, and has its own page.

We rank them by how many of Atlas's cited accords they actually share, weighting rarer families heavier. They're their own fragrances, not copies of Atlas, and each has its own page.
