The review

On paper, Crystal Noir is a reasonable bet if you want Crystal Noir for less.

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

At $23 it costs 68% less than Crystal Noir.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

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

The original opens on ginger, cardamom and pepper, turns to gardenia, coconut and orange blossom, and settles into sandalwood, amber and musk. That is the brief Crystal Noir is working from.

Top

  • ginger
  • cardamom
  • pepper

Heart

  • gardenia
  • coconut
  • orange blossom

Base

  • sandalwood
  • amber
  • musk
Creamy gardenia and coconut over spicy amber, sultry and full-bodied.

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