A calming funny floral citrus fragrance with a unique pepper note
Maybe it is pimento skin ??
well blended and hard to dislike , like byredo does
nice, but I am not sure if it fits my collection

Stong bergamot and citrus. Very natural. It is reminiscent of salad dressing and Italian food, to me. I think because of the petitgrain. I don’t understand this brand, haha. It is very pricey for simple, linear scents.

Not that I want to blast Byredo, but I find most of their fragrances very overrated , and too expensive for what they offer…This one is for citrus lovers, I am not one of them, but I can enjoy a well constructed citrus scent…this definitely is all about citruses, nicely done, fresh yet rounded, but too light…also vaguely masculine, like citrus scents tend to be ….like most Byredo, they tend to disappear quickly, and leave a vague impression of what it could have been..the names are great, they are like titles of books..I wish the scents were more interesting, or more harmonious in their construction…they tend to arouse my interest, but turn flat too fast…with that brand, I feel I am wearing the name, more than the scent…not my style

This has a top blast of grapefruit but the petitgrain herbal note takes over and there is no sweet citrus after that initial recognition.

Byredo Palermo is a great fresh citrus blend, tart from what seems like a mix of grapefruit, pomelo, and bergamot, and anchored by some light musky elements and rose underneath.
Like Pulp, Palermo is an entry I find to be a fun, fresh take on a summer fragrance, though certainly it can be argued that Pulp is a bit more unique than Palermo. Still, Palermo may be the most agreeable Byredo fragrance I’ve tried to date, and while it isn’t especially daring, there’s merit in having such a unisex easy-to-wear fresh citrus scent in the catalog. It lacks the vetiver- and violet-laden intrigue of Bal d’Afrique and the guts of Pulp, but it serves its purpose.
Still, it’s a tough sell as it doesn’t project much on my skin and, of course, citrus-dominant fragrances come much cheaper, particularly from a house like Atelier Cologne.

I’m wearing this right now. It came in a bag of samples, and *something* in that bag smelled amazing. I thought through a process of elimination that it was this, but I put it on and it’s flat, vaguely sweet citrus that disappears almost immediately.
It has no character; it’s one-note citrus like a Body Shop grapefruit spray that I had and gave away.

I get lemon and greens, rather than other citruses. The top was fantastic, the drydown not so much

Wow this juice is soooo wonderful…
totally blows my mind…such impressive citrus.
Ok, I don’t know how to start, but as a citrus-maniac it’s hard to explain how excited I was when I took a sniff of this the first time.Well you know the feeling of “love at the first sight”?That’s exactly what I mean.Normally citrus fragrances only use the aroma of the peel of oranges and lemons or grapefruit or yuzu…to express the juicy and sparkling trait of fruit, but Palermo does not.It’s not the smell of the peel, but the pulp inside.However, the vital and mind-blowing thing is that you could almost be certain that this orange(or simply this fruit) is a sweet and mild one, without any sour or sharp taste.Simply amazing.
Oh my goodness I love oranges.I love the fresh pulp of oranges.
So extraordinary, so unique.

citrus and musk, nothing more.
Byredo is not a brand to go for, mediocre fragrances with patchouli, animalistic notes with either fruits or berries. Smells like an old creepy lady with a big nose with moles on it, mustache, hat and a fur.

The expression of Palermo is remembered as a light footed person, having a gentle stroll on a holiday morning. A light and zesty aura walking on a cobbled stone pavement. There is a lemon garden not far from here. There is an old and beautiful small castle up on the hill, The air is mildly cold and crisp but the sun rays heat up your skin, and you got your amber shades on. People are shopping without making noise and everything has an ambient energy around it. Palermo does not disturb others, just walks-by.
But It doesn’t last long, and soon dies down and becomes a part of your skin so only lovers or haters can smell it, if they like you and get too close. No point trying to carry a decanter and re-spray.
Best in Summer or Spring, Not because it may lasts longer (it doe not), but because it is the fragrance of the summer breeze.

I am not the kind of guy who likes cologne or citrusy perfumes. This one, however, got my attention at first spray. The citrus notes of Palermo smell like a fresh pomelo. It has a distinct smell among all kind of citrus fruits and I think it’s unique and wonderful. The dry down is not very exceptional, but nevertheless I will buy a bottle.
Evellioge – :
By the name – Palermo , this could have been the perfect Italian lemon skinclose refresher for days of heavy summer. I have checked notes but can not find what makes that awful foody topnote smell. I could never go through that topnote to get something lovely.
That same thing happened with sur le Nil…too bad when the top note puts you off. .
Thanks Mooniq for letting me try it but this is not me –
I am sorry to say this , cause its a native brand and it goes in next swap for another to try…

On my skin Lemon and bergamott-notes don’t get along – at all.. They turn male’ish.. Citrus/lemon can be very fresh notes but on my – just very, very male’ish..This is a skinclose scent, in my opinion.
På min hud blir citron och bergamott-noter inte bra, alls, de förvandlas till manliga noter. Citrusnoter kan vara otroligt fräscha men inte på mig – då blir de oftast väldigt, väldigt manliga.. tyvärr… detta är en hudnära doft förövrigt..

Smells good but its an arafisil lemon smell not a real one…
rybol – :
loved it when purchased on vacation in Paris it faded too quickly and could not recapture the initial opening on subsequent applications didn’t realize it is categorized for women as it had a masculine appeal like Blu Mediteraneo Quercia Marina had back in the day

A very pretty fragrance that makes me think of lemon groves, sunshine and fresh air. The fragrance opens with a burst of well-rounded citrus and bergamot, which is almost tonic-like in places. The middle notes are very subtle, but I’m left with a slightly powdery musk undertone. If I could retain the beautiful citrus and floral notes (which become very faint after about 30 minutes) and diminish the powdery notes, I may have considered splurging on a bottle.

***The first notes are very citrusy, with green (pettigrain) in there a bit… The first layer reminds me of delicious citrus fruits rolling through grass…
I am not a fresh citrusy dame…these tend to be more like household cleaners to my nose. I would prefer to smell this on my gent…he wears these fresh scents beautiful…although this scent is sexless.
***The heart comes through slightly leaning with a few roses…still playing with the delicious citrus and rolling around in the grass…the roses are dim… but detected…and the slightest bit of musk.
This is comming off as very organic and natural…in line with the high quality Byredo fragrances. It is starting to smell more beautiful and pretty at this point…but still playful, interesting.
***The base is creating more interest… changing the mood even more…hightening the uniqueness of this duft into something I would wear on a warm sunny day… or even to work…or shopping…especially hiking. It is not kissably sexy to my nose…but Unique and worth at least tasting~
