The review

Worth a try. That is where Armani Mania lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Armani Mania.

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

At $23 it costs 73% less than Armani Mania.

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

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

What it is chasing: mandarin orange, saffron and citrus leaves up top, cedar and vetiver in the middle, musk and amber underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Mania.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • saffron
  • citrus leaves

Heart

  • cedar
  • vetiver

Base

  • musk
  • amber
Saffron and cedar handled with the economy Kurkdjian would later trade on; a quiet 2002 gem.

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