The review

On paper, Champaca Absolute is a strong bet if you want Champaca Absolute for less.

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

At $23 it costs 92% less than Champaca Absolute.

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 champaca, cognac and bergamot, turns to orchid, orris and neroli, and settles into sandalwood, amber and agarwood. That is the brief Champaca Absolute is working from.

Top

  • champaca
  • cognac
  • bergamot

Heart

  • orchid
  • orris
  • neroli

Base

  • sandalwood
  • amber
  • agarwood
Golden champaca flower over cognac and creamy woods; warm, boozy and luxuriously floral.

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