The review
Strong contender. That is where Aqua Vitae lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Aqua Vitae.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Aqua Vitae's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 89% less than Aqua Vitae.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
