The review
No. 1 scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing No. 1.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is No. 1's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 97% less than No. 1.
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
Clive Christian No. 1 is bergamot, lime and grapefruit at first, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang at its heart and sandalwood, vetiver and cedar at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot
- lime
- grapefruit
Heart
- jasmine
- rose
- ylang-ylang
Base
- sandalwood
- vetiver
- cedar
Citrus and orris over sandalwood, opulent in the old British manner and priced accordingly.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
