The review

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

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

At $23 it costs 54% less than Ultraviolet.

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: bergamot, mint and green notes up top, coriander, amber and woody notes in the middle, vanilla, ambergris and musk underneath — the shape of Paco Rabanne Ultraviolet.

Top

  • bergamot
  • mint
  • green notes

Heart

  • coriander
  • amber
  • woody notes

Base

  • vanilla
  • ambergris
  • musk
Cool mineral freshness over warm amber vanilla, futuristic in a distinctly 1999 way.

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