Bait

Perfume Parlour Bait is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2003. Bait opens with Ylang-Ylang, Gardenia, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Iris, Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Tuberose, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Musk. Perfume Parlour's Bait carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Bait copies Lancome's discontinued Attraction - the same softly blended white-floral bouquet over a creamy musk, cedar and vanilla base. The budget version captures the polite, skin-close elegance but reads a little flatter, with the florals less seamlessly melded.

About

Bait opens on a creamy bouquet of gardenia, neroli and ylang-ylang that mirrors Lancome's Attraction. The heart layers iris, orange blossom, jasmine, tuberose and rose into a soft, blended floral - never shouting, always polite - before a base of cedar, patchouli, vanilla, musk and amber sweetens and grounds it. Against the original the budget take is a touch flatter and the florals don't melt together quite as seamlessly, but it shares the same gentle, close-to-the-skin character. It's an elegant, romantic floral-woody musk for spring and autumn that suits the office, dates and formal occasions - a wearable echo of a discontinued classic.
