The review
Heures d'Absence scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Heures d'Absence.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Heures d'Absence's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 94% less than Heures d'Absence.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

What it's built to smell like
Louis Vuitton Heures d'Absence is jasmine sambac and may rose at first, mimosa, pittosporum and raspberry at its heart and musk, vanilla and sandalwood at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
