Palermo

Eau de Parfum

In the ancient Mediterranean city of Palermo, the regional capital of Sicily, the orange trees that Berber and Moorish emirs planted long ago still grow. Their bergamot and bigarade fruits light up Byredo's Palermo, a scent as close to olfactory happiness as you can get, a perfume played in the highest, brightest keys.

Palermo's citrus grove sits alongside a rose garden, its rose bushes greened up in spring with the smell of crushed orange tree leaves and sliced fruits: lemon, lime, grapefruit, and maybe even aromatic pomelo. In its opening, an effervescent freshness of citrus juice is layered with cut citrus rinds, their zest oils conveying a more intense richness, bitterness, and spice.

During your walk in the garden, as the sun warms your skin, a warm musk rises up, slightly powdery, softening the bracing freshness of the hesperidic top notes of Palermo and helping the freshness to linger with the warmth. This is a unisex fragrance perfect for warmer months.

Here's what other people are saying about Palermo...

Oooh I love this. I smell bright pink grapefruit--that must be the bergamot. This is an effervescent citrus soapy scent that opens in a bright burst then settles quickly into a faint happy little secret you can share when you care to press your nose to your wrist. I like the transient quality. A fun sparkle you can spritz on for a pick-me-up without committing to a long production of complicated dramas. Fab and cheerful in warm weather.

I have to agree with the other reviewer, Tom. It smells initially of bright citruses, mainly bergamot and bigarade (aka bitter orange). I just can't detect the rose and musk notes, no matter how much I try or apply, they just are't there. After a couple hours I only notice the bigarade left close to my skin. It's a nice scent, but also boring and uncomplex.

While this is a light, lovely scent, it's not for me. Palermo is a fairly sweet explosion of bergamot and other citrus fruits. The rose and musk are barely detectable. This is a soft scent with low silage that sits closer to the skin. It's not bad (it's just not interesting).

Light, breezy citrus. A soapy clean warm sent. All summer and sunshine and quiet. I love it.

By Phoebe - Carpenter from Boston on 3/3/2016

To me, this opens with a lot of citrus- (grapefruit? Bergamot?) but it also is 30% shampoo smell. I like it the citrus, a LOT, but I don't love it because it smells too much like shampoo and has poor longevity. I will stick with Pulp.
