Perfume Parlour Cerulean is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Cerulean opens with Lavender and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Herbal and Juniper, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Tobacco. Perfume Parlour's Cerulean carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

Cerulean interprets Orto Parisi's Viride - that bitter, foresty green of crushed herbs and damp woods. The dupe sketches the wild herbal-woody character but renders it flatter and far less potent than the original, which is famous for monster longevity.

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Cerulean takes on Orto Parisi's Viride, Alessandro Gualtieri's dark, foresty green. It opens bitter and herbal with artemisia and a touch of lavender, evoking crushed leaves and damp air, then deepens through a green herbal heart sharpened by juniper. The base dries into woody notes warmed by a soft tobacco and musk, echoing the original's slow fade from fresh wilderness into dry, sweetish wood. Viride is celebrated for its sheer power and outstanding longevity; this budget interpretation captures the wild, green-woody mood but reads markedly flatter and weaker, with the medicinal bitterness softened and the projection a fraction of the niche benchmark. A characterful, slightly unconventional green scent for those who want the foresty vibe at a fraction of the cost.
