Perfume Parlour Authentic Liquid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Authentic Liquid opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Neroli, Galbanum, and Pear, and dries down to a base of Rice, Musk, and Ambergris. Perfume Parlour's Authentic Liquid carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget take on Creed Original (Pure White) Cologne. The clean Sicilian-citrus opening and powdery musk-rice base capture that expensive-fresh feel, though it wears flatter and softer - the subtle complexity that makes the original a connoisseur's gem is simplified here.

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.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Authentic Liquid opens bright and clean with Sicilian lemon, bergamot and Italian grapefruit - a crisp citrus burst that mirrors the well-mannered freshness of Creed's Pure White Cologne. A heart of sweet pear, green galbanum and neroli softens the edges, leading to a powdery base of white musk, ambergris and a signature rice-powder note that gives the drydown its clean, almost laundered finish. The original is prized as a delicate, unobtrusive and expensive-smelling hidden gem; this Perfume Parlour version captures that easy elegance but renders it a touch flatter and skin-closer, with the citrus brightness weighted up and the costlier ambergris-orris nuances dialled back. Longevity sits in the modest range typical of fresh citrus scents and of this style of dupe, making it a polished, inoffensive daytime fresh for warm weather rather than a long-haul statement.
