Designer American For Women

Perfume Parlour Designer American For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2002. Designer American For Women opens with Mandarin, settles into a heart of Gardenia and Rose, and dries down to a base of Stephanotis and Musk. Perfume Parlour's Designer American For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

A budget take on the original Vera Wang (2002) - the same soft, creamy white-floral of mandarin, gardenia and rose drying to stephanotis and clean musk. Designer American captures that powdery, romantic character but reads flatter and shorter-lived than the designer original, the gardenia thinner and the blend simpler.

About

Designer American opens with a fresh sparkle of mandarin before the white florals take over - the signature of the original Vera Wang (2002). The heart is all creamy gardenia, often singled out as one of the smoothest in mainstream perfumery, deepened by a soft rose for body. The base settles into delicate stephanotis and clean white musk, leaving a powdery, romantic trail. Perfume Parlour's interpretation captures Vera Wang's soft, fresh, creamy-floral character convincingly, but it reads a fraction flatter, the gardenia thinner and less luscious and the blend simpler than the designer original. The original itself was known for only moderate 4-6 hour longevity, and here it is similarly modest with soft, close projection. The effect stays elegant and bridal-pretty - a creamy white-floral for spring and summer, worn casually, at the office, day to day or on romantic dates.
