Strong contender

The review
Strong contender. That is where Y Le Parfum lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Y Le Parfum.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Y Le Parfum's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $23 it costs 83% less than Y Le Parfum.
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
What it is chasing: bergamot, lavender and ginger up top, sage, juniper and fir balsam in the middle, vanilla, Tonka Bean and cedar underneath — the shape of Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum.
Top
- bergamot
- lavender
- ginger
Heart
- sage
- juniper
- fir balsam
Base
- vanilla
- Tonka Bean
- cedar
Lavender and fir over vanilla-tonka, the cold-weather answer to the Y line.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
