The review
Sahara Noir scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Sahara Noir.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Sahara Noir's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 94% less than Sahara Noir.
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 Sahara Noir is frankincense, cistus and bergamot at first, rose, cedar and beeswax at its heart and myrrh, labdanum and amber at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- frankincense
- cistus
- bergamot
Heart
- rose
- cedar
- beeswax
Base
- myrrh
- labdanum
- amber
Heavy frankincense and myrrh melting into honeyed amber; a bold, church-like resinous statement.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
