Perfume Parlour Black Dragon is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Black Dragon opens with Bergamot, Orange, Mandarin, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Oolong Tea and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Musk and Fig. Perfume Parlour's Black Dragon carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Black Dragon mirrors Nishane's Wulong Cha with its realistic oolong tea and bright citrus over a soft fig-musk finish. That clean, shower-fresh tea character is well captured, though it dries down a little quicker than the niche 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

Black Dragon is Perfume Parlour's read on Nishane's Wulong Cha, the cult clean-tea citrus loved for its just-out-of-the-shower freshness. It opens bright and juicy with litchi, mandarin, orange and bergamot, then a prominent oolong tea note threaded with a touch of nutmeg takes centre stage - natural and realistic rather than sweet. The drydown brings a soft, fruity fig and clean musk. Against the Nishane, this budget version reads slightly simpler and sharper, with the lifelike tea facet a touch less refined, and longevity that sits closer to the skin than Wulong Cha's surprisingly good staying power for a citrus. Still, the calm, clean tea-and-citrus signature comes through clearly, making it an excellent everyday office and warm-weather scent for a fraction of the niche price.
