The review

Chergui 521 scores 5.4 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Chergui.

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

Evidence7.0

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

Serge Lutens Chergui is tobacco leaf and hay at first, honey, iris and rose at its heart and amber, incense and sandalwood at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • tobacco leaf
  • hay

Heart

  • honey
  • iris
  • rose

Base

  • amber
  • incense
  • sandalwood
For the one who craves a warm desert wind of honeyed tobacco and hay, smoothed by iris, amber and soft sandalwood.
