Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Plum Japonais scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Plum Japonais.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Plum Japonais's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 92% less than Plum Japonais.

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

Tom Ford Plum Japonais is plum, saffron and cinnamon at first, osmanthus, camellia and immortelle at its heart and benzoin, vanilla and oud at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
