The review
Strong contender. That is where Chinatown lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Chinatown.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Chinatown's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 95% less than Chinatown.
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: peach blossom, bergamot and cardamom up top, gardenia, tuberose and orange blossom in the middle, patchouli, vanilla and cedar underneath — the shape of Bond No. 9 Chinatown.
Top
- peach blossom
- bergamot
- cardamom
Heart
- gardenia
- tuberose
- orange blossom
Base
- patchouli
- vanilla
- cedar
Candied peach blossom over gardenia and patchouli, the house's undisputed masterpiece.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
