The review

On paper, Very Valentino is a reasonable bet if you want Very Valentino for less.

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

At $23 it costs 68% less than Very Valentino.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Evidence6.0

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

The original opens on bergamot, mandarin orange and blackcurrant, turns to jasmine, rose and violet, and settles into sandalwood, vanilla and musk. That is the brief Very Valentino is working from.

Top

  • bergamot
  • mandarin orange
  • blackcurrant

Heart

  • jasmine
  • rose
  • violet

Base

  • sandalwood
  • vanilla
  • musk
A bright, busy citrus floral from 1998, all bergamot, jasmine and velvet vanilla.

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