The review
Opus 1870 scores 6.9 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Opus 1870.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Opus 1870's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 88% less than Opus 1870.
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
Penhaligon's Opus 1870 is black pepper, pink pepper and bergamot at first, rose, carnation and incense at its heart and cedar, sandalwood and amber at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
