The review

Endymion scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Endymion.

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

At $23 it costs 88% less than Endymion.

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

Penhaligon's Endymion is mandarin, sage and lavender at first, coffee, nutmeg and cardamom at its heart and vanilla, leather and vetiver at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Coffee and sage over vanilla and leather, a mythic sleeper's fragrance that never dates.

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