Perfume Parlour ADC is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. ADC opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Peach, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Ylang-Ylang, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's ADC carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

ADC copies Xerjoff's XXY - the same sweet peach-and-jasmine opening that rides from fruity-floral into a spicy floral heart and a woody-amber drydown. The budget version captures the arc but reads flatter and sweeter, losing the original's slow, refined development and depth.

About

ADC opens on a strong, sweet peach paired with jasmine, bergamot and grapefruit - the lush fruity-floral start that defines Xerjoff's XXY. A spicy floral heart of black pepper, iris and ylang-ylang bridges into a base of vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, vetiver, musk and labdanum, taking the fragrance from fruit to woody amber. Against the original the budget take is flatter and leans sweeter, the materials less refined and the famously slow, layered development compressed, with sillage that sits close to the skin. It remains a sophisticated, sensual fruity-floral-woody scent for spring and autumn, well suited to evenings, dates and dressy occasions.
