Perfume Parlour Complete Japanese is an Eau de Parfum. Complete Japanese opens with Cyclamen, Freesia, Lotus, and Melon, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Peony, Lily, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Perfume Parlour's Complete Japanese carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget take on Issey Miyake L'Eau d'Issey, that benchmark airy aquatic floral. Complete Japanese captures the watery lotus-and-melon freshness and the clean floral heart, but the ethereal, spring-water transparency reads flatter, and it stays even closer to the skin than the already-mild original.

About

Complete Japanese opens like clear water, a transparent wash of lotus, freesia and juicy melon lifted by a dewy calone and soft cyclamen, that just-like-spring-water freshness L'Eau d'Issey pioneered in 1992. The heart unfolds a gentle bouquet of peony, lily, carnation and lily of the valley, clean and airy rather than heady. The drydown settles into a soft woody-musk of cedar, sandalwood and amber with a whisper of osmanthus, grounding the aquatic florals. Against Issey Miyake's L'Eau d'Issey, this clone keeps the watery-floral idea intact but renders the transparency a touch heavier and the woods less refined, losing some of the original's ethereal, evaporative quality. L'Eau d'Issey is already a mild, personal-space scent; the dupe sits softer still, with gentle projection and a few hours of clean freshness before settling skin-close. As an affordable, easy aquatic floral for warm days, the office and active wear, it delivers the fresh mood well.
