Perfume Parlour Chieftain II is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. Chieftain II opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Pepper and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, Vetiver, and Myrrh. Perfume Parlour's Chieftain II carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Chieftain II copies Hugo Boss In Motion Black - the same crisp citrus-and-ginger opening over a soft woody myrrh-sandalwood base. The original is already a famously weak, airy performer, and this budget version is lighter still - a clean, fleeting daytime splash.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

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

Chieftain II opens fresh and zesty, with bergamot, grapefruit and a warm ginger kick echoing Boss In Motion Black's citrusy woody-aromatic signature. A light heart of pepper and cardamom adds a faint spice before the soft base of myrrh, sandalwood, vetiver and cedar rounds it off. The original is notorious for very low projection and short longevity, and this budget take leans even softer and flatter - an airy, delicate fresh scent that stays close to the skin. It works as a clean, inoffensive everyday fragrance for spring and summer, fine for casual wear, the office or the gym, but expect to re-apply through the day.
