Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where L'Eau d'Hiver lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to L'Eau d'Hiver.

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

At $23 it costs 91% less than L'Eau d'Hiver.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
