Decorous For Women

Name: Decorous For Women Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Decorous For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004. Decorous For Women opens with Quince, Lotus, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Papaya, Orchid, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Mineral, Amber, and Hinoki Wood. Perfume Parlour's Decorous For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget take on Elizabeth Arden's Provocative Woman - the same airy fruity-floral of quince and lotus over midnight orchid and freesia, grounded by hinoki wood and red amber. Decorous captures that pretty, sophisticated character but reads flatter than the original, the woody-amber base thinner.

About

Decorous opens fresh and fruity: tart quince, watery lotus and a spicy ginger lily set an airy, elegant tone - the signature of Elizabeth Arden's Provocative Woman (2004). The heart blooms into a mysterious midnight orchid, exotic papaya blossom and bright pink freesia, lending a sophisticated floral richness. The base grounds it with dry hinoki wood, warm red amber and a clean mineral white-sand facet. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures the original's pretty, airy fruity-floral-woody character convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter, the orchid and woody-amber base thinner than the designer original. Provocative Woman is known for solid Elizabeth Arden longevity around six hours with moderate sillage; here it is a touch more modest with a soft projection. The effect stays elegant and feminine - a fruity-floral with a woody backbone for spring through autumn, worn casually, at the office, on dates or relaxed evenings.
