Perfume Parlour Andrea is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Andrea opens with Quince, Cardamom, Saffron, and Apple, settles into a heart of Clove, Incense, and Tolu Balsam, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Andrea carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Andrea chases Xerjoff Casamorati Dolce Amalfi - that juicy apple-and-saffron opening into a spiced amber-vanilla base. The warm, fruity-gourmand mood comes through, but it renders the luxe incense and tonka more simply and projects softer, sketching the niche original rather than matching its depth.

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.

About

Andrea opens on a juicy apple and saffron accord brightened with cardamom and quince, the budget echo of Xerjoff's lush Casamorati Dolce Amalfi. The heart introduces a soft incense and tolu balsam warmth with a whisper of cloves, keeping the fruit from tipping into syrup just as the original cleverly does. The drydown turns creamy and ambery - tonka, vanilla, cedar and a touch of musk - that velvety, slightly woody finish that made Dolce Amalfi a unisex crowd-pleaser. Where the original carries serious longevity and a refined, resinous depth, this version reads brighter and flatter, with the incense and balsam simplified and the projection softer and more skin-close. The result is a warm, fruity-spicy gourmand that captures the cosy luxury vibe of the Xerjoff - lovely for autumn and winter evenings or dates - without the niche price tag, even if the most opulent facets of the original are only suggested here.
