The review
Mefisto scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Mefisto.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Mefisto's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 93% less than Mefisto.
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
Xerjoff Mefisto is bergamot, neroli and nutmeg at first, orange blossom, jasmine and iris at its heart and vetiver, musk and cedar at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

- bergamot
- neroli

Heart

Sunlit neroli and orange blossom polished into a suave, powdery-woody masculine.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
