The review
On paper, Matière Noire is a strong bet if you want Matière Noire for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Matière Noire's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 94% less than Matière Noire.
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
The original opens on blackcurrant syrup and watery notes, turns to rose, cyclamen and narcissus, and settles into agarwood (oud), benzoin and incense. That is the brief Matière Noire is working from.
Top
- blackcurrant syrup
- watery notes
Heart
- rose
- cyclamen
- narcissus
Base
- agarwood (oud)
- benzoin
- incense
Blackcurrant syrup poured over oud and narcissus, plush and shadowed, a night with the lamps turned low.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
