Perfume Parlour Composition Eight is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Composition Eight opens with Orange Blossom, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, Ginger, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Bay Leaf and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Composition Eight carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Composition Eight takes on Amouage's Opus VIII, that demanding, jasmine-forward floral oriental. Perfume Parlour captures the opulent jasmine and spicy-incense heart but smooths out the original's shape-shifting complexity, giving a steadier, more linear wear that loses some of the Amouage's artful unpredictability.

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

Composition Eight opens on a rich, natural-feeling jasmine wrapped in orange blossom and creamy ylang-ylang, echoing the luminous floral that anchors Amouage's Opus VIII. The dupe keeps that opulent white-floral centre but tames the original's potent, sometimes startling opening. The heart turns spicy and resinous as saffron, ginger and incense weave around smoky guaiac wood and earthy vetiver, lending depth and a warm oriental glow. Where Opus VIII famously shifted shape and refused to sit still, Perfume Parlour holds a steadier course, so this version is more predictable and easier to wear. The drydown is a soft amber-resinous close of benzoin with a touch of aromatic bay. Performance is good for a budget scent, with solid longevity and moderate, introspective projection. A sophisticated floral oriental for cool-weather evenings and statement wear.
