The review
Strong contender. That is where Velvet Orchid lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Velvet Orchid.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Velvet Orchid's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 83% less than Velvet Orchid.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
