The review
Worth a try. That is where Glimmer lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Velvet Orchid.
AromaPassions sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Orchid's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $69 per 100ml it costs 47% less than Velvet Orchid — the 5th cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
