The review

Goldea scores 6.3 out of 10 on paper — worth a try territory for anyone chasing Goldea.

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

At $23 it costs 72% less than Goldea.

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

Bvlgari Goldea is musk, bergamot and orange blossom at first, jasmine, ylang-ylang and egyptian papyrus at its heart and patchouli, amber and musk at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Base

  • patchouli

Layered musks wrapped around jasmine and papyrus; opulent, golden and pleasantly old-world.

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