Not as close as Palermo have got to other fragrances in the past where you can’t tell the difference but pretty close. It’s not as high a quality as Hermes’ used and you can tell that a little but it’s very close and I imagine most wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Hermes is perhaps a little more complex with the notes, this one just projects the top notes best. I have both and it’s good but not as amazing as some.
