Coloured Extract

Name: Coloured Extract Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Coloured Extract is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2007. Coloured Extract opens with Orange, Mandarin, Neroli, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Mastic, Iris, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Benzoin, and Incense. Perfume Parlour's Coloured Extract carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Coloured Extract follows Prada's Infusion d'Iris - the clean, powdery iris brightened with citrus and grounded by soft woods. It nails the airy, elegant signature but renders it thinner, with the iris reading a touch more synthetic and the whole composition staying closer to the skin.

About

Coloured Extract opens bright and clean: mandarin and orange over neroli and orange blossom, a crisp citrus-floral lift that mirrors the original's airy entry. The heart is where it counts - a cool, restrained iris dusted with galbanum's green edge and a faint resinous mastic. It is powdery and refined, the standout iris note recognisable even if it lacks the silky depth of Prada's. The dry-down softens into benzoin, a wisp of incense, dry cedar and vetiver, keeping things light and unisex. Against Infusion d'Iris it is flatter and shorter-lived: the iris is a little more papery, the projection gentler, and it settles quickly into a quiet skin scent. Still, it captures the clean, laundered-elegance mood that makes the original a daily-wear favourite, and at budget price it is an easy office and spring companion. Best worn in warmer, lighter months where its airy powder feels effortless rather than heavy.
