The review

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

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

At $23 it costs 79% less than Violet Blonde.

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

Tom Ford Violet Blonde is mandarin orange, pink pepper and baie rose at first, orris, jasmine and violet at its heart and suede, musk and benzoin at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • mandarin orange
  • pink pepper
  • baie rose

Heart

  • orris
  • jasmine
  • violet

Base

  • suede
  • musk
  • benzoin
Powdery orris and violet over soft suede and musk; elegant, retro and quietly sophisticated.

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