Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The aromatic character is happiest in spring and summer - the freshness reads bright and clean in milder weather; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

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.
