Perfume Parlour Against Me is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Against Me opens with Herbal, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Magnolia, and Pear, and dries down to a base of Vanilla, Ambrette, and Cacao Butter. Perfume Parlour's Against Me carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's Against Me trails Louis Vuitton Contre Moi - the buttery pear-and-orange-blossom-over-vanilla idea survives, but this dupe pushes the sweetness louder and synthetic while losing the smooth, quiet refinement that made the original feel special.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The creamy vanilla-cacao base and sweet fruity-floral heart feel cosiest in autumn and winter, with the citrus opening keeping it wearable in spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Soft, sweet and intimate - ideal for dates, casual outings and evening wear; too gentle and sugary to read as office-formal.

About

Against Me opens with a soft citrus shimmer of lemon and bergamot before sliding quickly into its real story: a candied pear laced with orange blossom, rose and a touch of magnolia. The drydown is all creamy vanilla - Tahitian and Madagascar layered with a whisper of cacao and powdery ambrette - aiming for the melting, butter-smooth feel of Louis Vuitton Contre Moi. Where the original keeps its vanilla quiet, subtle and almost gourmand-adjacent without tipping over, this budget version dials the sweetness up and renders flatter, with the synthetic edge that often surfaces in cheaper vanillas after the first hour. Performance is gentle: it hugs the skin and projects modestly, much like the close-wearing original but fading a little sooner. As a cosy, romantic vanilla for cooler evenings and casual dates it delivers warmth and comfort - just without the polished restraint of the real Contre Moi.
