Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

On paper, Red Roses is a strong bet if you want Red Roses for less.

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

At $23 it costs 85% less than Red Roses.

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 lemon and mint, turns to rose and violet, and settles into honey and musk. That is the brief Red Roses is working from.

Top

  • lemon
  • mint

Heart

  • rose
  • violet

Base

  • honey
  • musk
Seven roses cut with lemon and mint, dewy and bright rather than heavy and velvet.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
