Perfume Parlour Beautiful Smell For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Beautiful Smell For Women opens with Lemon and Lemon Verbena, settles into a heart of Hyacinth and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Cedar and Galbanum. Perfume Parlour's Beautiful Smell For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Beautiful Smell interprets Issey Miyake's A Scent - that minimalist green floral of crisp citrus, jasmine, hyacinth and galbanum. The dupe captures the clean, transparent character but renders it flatter and shorter-lived than the original.

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

Beautiful Smell is Perfume Parlour's take on Issey Miyake's A Scent, a minimalist, transparent green floral inspired by Japanese mountains. It opens crisp and fresh with Amalfi lemon and lemon verbena, then reveals a clean floral wave of jasmine and hyacinth threaded with green galbanum and a soft Virginia cedar that adds a balmy, faintly warm trail. As a budget interpretation it captures the original's pared-back, clear-as-water character and the green-floral freshness well, but renders the blend flatter and simpler, and the projection and longevity sit below the designer's already-light performance. A clean, uplifting feminine for warm-weather daytime, the office and easy casual wear.
