The review

On paper, 212 Sexy is a reasonable bet if you want 212 Sexy for less.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is 212 Sexy's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 72% less than 212 Sexy.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Value8.0
Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

The original opens on bergamot, mandarin orange and pink pepper, turns to gardenia, rose and peony, and settles into vanilla, sandalwood and musk. That is the brief 212 Sexy is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • mandarin orange
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • gardenia
  • rose
  • peony

Base

  • vanilla
  • sandalwood
  • musk
Soft gardenia and vanilla over sandalwood, cosy and quietly sensual.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
