The review
X For Men scores 7.0 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing X For Men.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is X For Men's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 95% less than X For Men.
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
Clive Christian X For Men is bergamot, lavender and cardamom at first, geranium, nutmeg and cinnamon at its heart and sandalwood, oakmoss and musk at the end. Palermo Perfumes set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- bergamot

Heart

- musk
Cardamom-spiced lavender over oakmoss and sandalwood, restrained and very English.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
