Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Shalimar lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Shalimar.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Shalimar's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 86% less than Shalimar.
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
What it is chasing: bergamot, lemon and cedar up top, iris, jasmine and rose in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and opoponax underneath — the shape of Guerlain Shalimar.
Top
- bergamot
- lemon
- cedar
Heart
- iris
- jasmine
- rose
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- opoponax
Smoky lemon-vanilla haze over leathered iris; the fragrance every amber owes its existence to.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
