About

Excellence is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Initio Parfums Prives Paragon. It opens with Lavender, Palo Santo, leads into a heart of Black Pepper, Plum, Sage, and dries down to Bergamot, Sandalwood, Oud. The overall character is aromatic with warm spicy and fruity facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
