The review

Worth a try. That is where Ultra Male lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Ultra Male.

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

At $33 per 100ml it costs 62% less than Ultra Male — the 3rd cheapest of 12 twins we can price.

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: pear, lavender and mint up top, cinnamon, clary sage and black lavender in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and amber underneath — the shape of Jean Paul Gaultier Ultra Male.

Top

  • pear
  • lavender
  • mint

Heart

  • cinnamon
  • clary sage
  • black lavender

Base

  • vanilla
  • Tonka Bean
  • amber
Sugary pear and lavender over vanilla, absurdly strong and unapologetically fun.

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