Perfumed water Byredo Palermo, a creation of the Swedish brand Byredo, is named after the Italian town of Palermo. Palermo is an ancient city that was founded by the Phoenicians and later came under the jurisdiction of the Roman Empire. It seems the city's astonishing beauty, filled with monumental memories of its grand past, inspired the Swedes to create this remarkable fragrance.
Given the historical features of Palermo, it's not surprising that one finds distinct Greco-Roman chypre motifs within the fragrance's composition. The city is so rife with semi-ruined monuments from various cultures and historical eras, that all these nuances are bound to manifest in the perfume named after this great city. The melody of this product is set by noble notes of green cardamom and Phoenician frankincense, diluted with the sweet bitterness of lemon liqueur - limoncello.
Ancient, almost Arabic chords of patchouli leaf, agarwood (oud), and papyrus, create a sense of grandeur in the soul and urge to unravel all the secrets of this unique perfume.
To say that I was shocked when I purchased (fortunately) only a 2ml sample would be an understatement, and it's not about the scent itself (which, by the way, is wonderful), but about the fact that it simply disappears after 30 minutes of application. Honestly, I wouldn't buy it even for 500 UAH. The fragrance of a perfume may or may not appeal to someone, but at this price, it should be intense and long-lasting for at least a few hours, not to mention its sillage. With the same success, you could buy, let's say, a dozen perfumes from Avon (they have some very decent options) and spray yourself with them. Palermo by Byredo completely turned me off from trying other perfumes from this brand, as they say. I didn't buy the sample at a makeup store.
Super aroma. It's like summer, a field, a variety of grasses, and sun-kissed fruits. It's not overly sweet or overpowering. Very pleasant and doesn't feel heavy in the heat. I disagree with the previous review, there is no hint of roses anywhere.
