Perfume Parlour Citrus Coffee Rush is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Citrus Coffee Rush opens with Lemon and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Coffee, and dries down to a base of Vetiver. Perfume Parlour's Citrus Coffee Rush carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's take on Akro Awake. Citrus Coffee Rush captures the bright lemon-and-cardamom opening into a rich coffee heart, though it leans a touch sweeter and the complex, shifting layers of the niche original simplify here.

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.

About

Citrus Coffee Rush chases Akro's Awake, the Olivier Cresp citrus-gourmand built around a realistic coffee note. It opens bright and sharp with Italian lemon and a green-leaning cardamom, that energising, almost-zingy start the original is known for. The heart is pure coffee - warm, roasted and smooth, with gently milky facets and very little bitterness, exactly the Awake signature. A dry Haitian vetiver grounds the base and keeps the whole thing from turning syrupy. Both share the same four-note backbone. Where this version diverges, it pushes the coffee a touch sweeter and louder while the original's complex, shifting development - citrus, honeysuckle, chocolate facets emerging over hours - reads simpler and more linear. Longevity is solid for the price. A bold, energising citrus-coffee gourmand for cooler days and coffee-lovers at a budget price.
