The review
On paper, Gran Ballo is a strong bet if you want Gran Ballo for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Gran Ballo's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 91% less than Gran Ballo.
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, aldehydes and peach, turns to ylang-ylang, rose and tuberose, and settles into vanilla, musk and sandalwood. That is the brief Gran Ballo is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- aldehydes
- peach
Heart
- ylang-ylang
- rose
- tuberose
Base
- vanilla
- musk
- sandalwood
Creamy ylang-ylang and tuberose swirling into a rich, glamorous bouquet.
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 Xerjoff Gran Ballo we can price, Gran Ballo is number 2 on price per 100ml.
