Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Manhattan lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Manhattan.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Manhattan's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 95% less than Manhattan.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
