The review
Shanghai Lily scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Shanghai Lily.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Shanghai Lily's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 92% less than Shanghai Lily.
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 Shanghai Lily is clove, pink pepper and bergamot at first, lily, jasmine and rose at its heart and vanilla, castoreum and benzoin at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

A lavish white-floral bouquet spiced and warmed with amber and woods; vintage-glamorous and enveloping.
