The review
On paper, Cinéma is a strong bet if you want Cinéma for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cinéma's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 78% less than Cinéma.
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 amaryllis, cyclamen and clementine, turns to jasmine, peony and almond blossom, and settles into amber, vanilla and musk. That is the brief Cinéma is working from.

Base
- amber
- vanilla
- musk
Almond blossom and amber, soft-focus and warmly cinematic.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 4 twins of Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma we can price, Cinéma is number 3 on price per 100ml.
