Strong contender

The review

Strong contender. That is where Tuxedo lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Tuxedo.

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

At $23 it costs 90% less than Tuxedo.

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: lavender and bergamot up top, orris, vetiver and patchouli in the middle, Tonka Bean, vanilla and woody notes underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo.

Top

  • lavender
  • bergamot

Heart

  • orris
  • vetiver
  • patchouli

Base

  • Tonka Bean
  • vanilla
  • woody notes
Lavender and iris over tonka woods, tailored and softly nocturnal.

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