Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Strong contender. That is where Madison Avenue lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Madison Avenue.

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

At $23 it costs 95% less than Madison Avenue.

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

What it is chasing: bergamot, pear and pink pepper up top, peony, rose and magnolia in the middle, musk, amber and sandalwood underneath — the shape of Bond No. 9 Madison Avenue.

Top

  • bergamot
  • pear
  • pink pepper

Heart

  • peony
  • rose
  • magnolia

Base

  • musk

Peony and pear over polished musk, a very expensive shopping bag.

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