The review
Strong contender. That is where Splendid Wood lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Splendid Wood.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Splendid Wood's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 90% less than Splendid Wood.
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: saffron and bergamot up top, cedar, sandalwood and rose in the middle, sandalwood, amber and musk underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Splendid Wood.
Top
- saffron
- bergamot
Heart
- cedar
- sandalwood
- rose
Base
- sandalwood
- amber
- musk
Saffron over rich sandalwood and amber, smooth and quietly luxurious.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
