Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

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

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

At $23 it costs 95% less than Signature.

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

Bond No. 9 Signature is bergamot and pink pepper at first, rose, jasmine and orris at its heart and amber, musk and sandalwood at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot

Heart

The brand's own signature in its star-shaped bottle, ambery, floral and deliberately generous.

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