Big Dance

Perfume Parlour Big Dance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Big Dance opens with Honeysuckle and Gardenia, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Caramel and Amber. Perfume Parlour's Big Dance carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Xerjoff Casamorati Gran Ballo. Big Dance captures the gardenia-and-caramel floral-gourmand signature, but the dupe pushes the sweet caramel-vanilla louder while the refined white-floral heart and the smooth, elegant amber-musk depth that made the original luxurious read flatter and shorter-lived.

About

Big Dance opens on a sweet, pretty pairing of honeysuckle and gardenia, soft and inviting. The heart adds a creamy jasmine over vanilla, leaning the composition gourmand. The base is all comfort - a rich caramel laced with warm amber, the sweet, cosy finish the original is loved for. Compared to Xerjoff Gran Ballo, this Perfume Parlour interpretation reads sweeter and more straightforward: the caramel-vanilla gourmand is pushed forward and louder while the lush, refined gardenia-jasmine bouquet and the smooth, elegant amber-and-sandalwood drydown that gave the original its luxurious polish are simplified, and it doesn't linger with the same depth. It remains a warm, romantic floral-gourmand, lovely for dates and cosy cool-weather evenings.
