The review
On paper, Perseus is a strong bet if you want Perseus for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Perseus's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 94% less than Perseus.
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 basil, mint and artemisia, turns to geranium and rosemary, and settles into patchouli, musk and cedar. That is the brief Perseus is working from.
Top
- basil
- mint
- artemisia
Heart
- geranium
- rosemary
Base
- patchouli
- musk
- cedar
A crisp basil-and-mint aromatic over green patchouli, clean and effortlessly wearable.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
