Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Valentina scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Valentina.

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

At $23 it costs 78% less than Valentina.

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

Valentino Valentina is bergamot, Calabrian Bergamot and orange blossom at first, tuberose, jasmine and white truffle at its heart and cedar, amber and strawberry at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • bergamot
  • Calabrian Bergamot
  • orange blossom

Heart

Base

  • cedar

  • strawberry
Creamy tuberose with an earthy truffle wink, sweeter and stranger than it first appears.

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