The review

La Religieuse scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing La Religieuse.

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

At $23 it costs 87% less than La Religieuse.

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

Serge Lutens La Religieuse is jasmine at first, jasmine, incense and musk at its heart and musk, amber and civet at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Chilled jasmine under incense and musk, a white flower stripped of all indulgence.

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