Perfume Parlour AB For Women is an Eau de Parfum. AB For Women opens with Lemon, Tuberose, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, and Styrax. Perfume Parlour's AB For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's tribute to Estee Lauder's classic Estee. AB recreates the soapy aldehydic-floral opening and rosy heart, but the mossy chypre base and orris refinement that define the vintage original feel pared back and shorter on skin.

About

AB reaches back to a true classic - Estee Lauder's 1968 Estee, a grande-dame aldehydic floral chypre. The opening fizzes with bright aldehydes over a fruity flicker of raspberry and peach, with ylang-ylang and lemon giving that crisp, soapy, dressed-up first impression. The heart blooms into a classically feminine bouquet of rose, jasmine and lily of the valley, threaded with honey, carnation and a touch of powdery iris. Where the original sinks into a luxuriant oakmoss-and-orris chypre drydown, AB keeps the woody-mossy base lighter and sweeter, losing some of the vintage gravity and crisp moss. Longevity and projection are moderate rather than the all-day staying power of the Lauder. A refined, old-school floral for cooler weather and formal wear that captures the soapy-elegant character while smoothing over the deeper chypre soul.
