The review
On paper, Caftan is a strong bet if you want Caftan for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Caftan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 90% less than Caftan.
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
The original opens on saffron, cardamom and bergamot, turns to rose, incense and cinnamon, and settles into sandalwood, amber and patchouli. That is the brief Caftan is working from.
Top
- saffron
- cardamom
- bergamot
Heart
- rose
- incense
- cinnamon
Base
- sandalwood
- amber
- patchouli
Saffron and incense over sandalwood, a nod to Saint Laurent's Marrakech years.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
