Perfume Parlour Bold Verdict is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Bold Verdict opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Myrrh, Frankincense, and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Bold Verdict carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Captures the clean, executive incense of Amouage Decision - cool frankincense and juniper-berry sparkle settling into creamy vanilla and cedar. Perfume Parlour's version is smoother and a little sweeter, with the original's mineral-aldehydic sharpness softened and longevity trimmed from Amouage's all-day grip.

About

Bold Verdict opens crisp and modern: bergamot, cardamom and pink pepper give a peppery citrus lift before the heart turns resinous with frankincense, juniper berries and myrrh. This is the cool, composed incense at the core of Amouage Decision, and the dupe renders it convincingly. The base brings warmth back - vanilla, cedarwood and a touch of patchouli rounding things into a soft woody-amber finish. Against the original, Perfume Parlour leans the vanilla sweeter and lets the austere mineral-frankincense edge relax, so it feels more approachable but less strikingly assertive. Projection is good early then settles, and longevity is solid for the price though well short of Decision's reported double-digit hours. A sophisticated, slightly serious incense-wood that suits the office, formal events and cool evenings.
