Strong contender

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Vanitas scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Vanitas.

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

At $23 it costs 91% less than Vanitas.

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

Profumum Roma Vanitas is bergamot at first, jasmine and ylang-ylang at its heart and vanilla, sandalwood and musk at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
