The review
On paper, Cruel Intentions is a strong bet if you want Cruel Intentions for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cruel Intentions's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 91% less than Cruel Intentions.
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 bergamot and saffron, turns to rose and oud, and settles into leather, castoreum and musk. That is the brief Cruel Intentions is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- saffron
Heart
- rose
- oud
Base
- leather
- castoreum
- musk
Rose and oud wrapped in warm leather, dark, dense and openly predatory.
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 2 twins of By Kilian Cruel Intentions we can price, Cruel Intentions is number 2 on price per 100ml.
