Perfume Parlour Corse For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Corse For Women opens with Absinth, Freesia, and Peach, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Cashmeran. Perfume Parlour's Corse For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Burberry Body. The powdery peach-rose-and-iris heart over a warm cashmeran musk is recognisably the original; one wearer calls the dupe 'more balanced' and a touch less green than Burberry's sharper absinthe opening, and it gives up some of the designer's impressive 8-to-10-hour staying power.

Scent Profile

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

Corse opens with a green, slightly bitter shimmer of absinthe lifted by juicy peach and airy freesia - a nod to the distinctive, faintly herbal top that gives Burberry Body its modern-chypre edge, though the dupe softens that sharpness for an easier first impression. The heart is the most faithful stretch: a powdery, musky rose laced with iris and creamy sandalwood, elegant and a little vintage in feel. It dries down to where Body truly lives - a warm, skin-like cashmeran wrapped in vanilla, amber and musk, soft and sensual. Community feedback rates it close but 'not one-to-one', describing the original as greener and the dupe as more rounded and balanced. Where Burberry Body projects strongly for hours and lasts well into the night, this version sits closer and fades sooner, trading the designer's longevity for a gentler ride. Best in spring and the cooler months, it flatters the office, daily wear and dressier evenings - a polished, recognisable budget stand-in for Body.
