The review
Strong contender. That is where Lipstick Rose lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Lipstick Rose.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lipstick Rose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 92% less than Lipstick Rose.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Rose and violet in a warm powdery haze — the scent of retro makeup, gorgeously done.
