Palmero by Byredo

*****
Year: 2010

Notes: Sicilian bergamot, bitter orange, rose, ambrette flower, fresh musks, skin musks
Palermo is a classic example of a citrus fragrance poorly executed.

Commencing with a short-lived citrus offensive, the citrus accords are crudely integrated, resulting in a piercing body odour aroma. The rose soon becomes noticeable but could have been strategically added to distract from the true origin of those metallic screeches: a synthetic woody-musk cocktail base.

Possessing abysmal staying power, it's one bitter orange offering that would be best avoided.
