Perfume Parlour Carriage For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Carriage For Men opens with Bergamot and Mint, settles into a heart of Vetiver and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Labdanum. Perfume Parlour's Carriage For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A budget version of the now-discontinued Cartier Roadster. Carriage nails the signature cool mint-and-bergamot freshness, but the full-bodied patchouli-vanilla base that made the original stand out comes across thinner and more generically woody, with shorter staying power.

About

Carriage opens crisp and cool - a bright mint lifted by bergamot, instantly recalling the original's energetic, almost gum-like freshness. As it settles, a soft patchouli and vetiver bring a green, slightly earthy heart. The base reaches for the rich, full-bodied finish that set Roadster apart, with vanilla and a touch of french labdanum adding warmth. Compared to the Cartier, this Perfume Parlour interpretation leans even fresher and sharper at the top, while the distinctive contrast of cool mint against a deep, smooth patchouli-vanilla base is flattened into something more straightforward and generically woody, and it doesn't cling as long. Still, it's a clean, energetic mint-fougere that makes an excellent fresh daily and office scent for warmer days.
