The review
Donna scores 6.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Donna.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Donna's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 80% less than Donna.
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
Valentino Donna is bergamot and italian bergamot at first, iris and rose at its heart and leather, patchouli and vanilla at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- italian bergamot
Heart
- iris
- rose
Base
- leather
- patchouli
- vanilla
Powdery iris pressed into soft leather, grown-up and quietly expensive.
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 3 twins of Valentino Donna we can price, Donna is number 3 on price per 100ml.
