The review

Worth a try. That is where Idole d'Armani lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Idole d'Armani.

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

At $23 it costs 76% less than Idole d'Armani.

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

What it is chasing: ginger, pear and clementine up top, saffron, jasmine and rose in the middle, vetiver, patchouli and styrax underneath — the shape of Giorgio Armani Idole d'Armani.

Top

  • ginger
  • pear
  • clementine

Heart

  • saffron
  • jasmine
  • rose

Base

  • vetiver
  • patchouli
  • styrax
Ginger and saffron laid over a dry patchouli chypre; a 2009 original that never got the audience it deserved.

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