Perfume Parlour 2009 EDP

Core

Name: Core Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Core is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Core opens with Red Apple, Blood Orange, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Apple Blossom, Jasmine, and Mango, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, Amber, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Core carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Core copies Ed Hardy Hearts & Daggers for Her - the same lively apple, blood orange and tropical mango over a soft musky-woody base. The budget version captures the fruity-fresh fun but reads flatter and sharper, with the fruits turning a touch more synthetic.

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

Core opens on the bright fruity trio that defines Ed Hardy's Hearts & Daggers for Her - juicy red apple, tangy blood orange and green violet leaf, sweet and energetic from the first spray. The heart turns tropical with mango and apple blossom over a hint of jasmine, before settling into a warm base of amber, soft woods, benzoin and musk for staying power. Against the original the budget take is a little flatter and the fruit reads slightly sharper and more candied, while sillage stays moderate. It's still a fun, flirtatious fruity-floral for warm weather - a vacation-friendly everyday scent for casual days and easygoing dates.
