Perfume Parlour Clyvez V is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Clyvez V opens with Bergamot, Neroli, and Peach, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Clyvez V carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Clyvez V chases Clive Christian V For Women - that lush white-floral bouquet of jasmine, rose and orange blossom over a classic mossy chypre base. The sophisticated, womanly mood comes through, but it renders flatter with softer projection, sketching the luxe original's rich depth rather than fully matching it.

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

Clyvez V opens on a soft fruity-floral lift of peach, neroli and bergamot, the budget echo of Clive Christian's opulent V For Women. The heart is a full white-floral bouquet - jasmine, rose, gardenia, orange blossom and creamy ylang-ylang - with a touch of lavender lending astringency to the lushness, that classic, womanly floral character the original is built around. The drydown turns into a traditional chypre: oakmoss, patchouli and sandalwood softened by honey, amber and musk, grounding the flowers in mossy sophistication. Where the luxury original boasts above-average sillage and overnight longevity with rich, layered detail, this take reads flatter and simpler, the chypre base thinner and the florals less dimensional, projecting closer to the skin. Still, it captures the elegant, romantic spirit of V For Women - lovely for evenings, dates and dressed-up occasions across spring and the cooler months - at a fraction of the price, even if the original's plush depth is only suggested.
