French Explorer

Perfume Parlour French Explorer is an Eau de Parfum. French Explorer opens with Coriander and Carnation, settles into a heart of Grapefruit, Anise, and Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Tonka Bean, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's French Explorer carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Must De Cartier - a woody fragrance led by Coriander, Carnation, with citrus depth. The dupe trades some of the original's depth and longevity for a wallet-friendly price, keeping the recognisable character.

About

French Explorer is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Must De Cartier. It opens with Coriander, Carnation, leads into a heart of Grapefruit, Anise, Sandalwood, and dries down to Tonka Bean, Patchouli, Musk. The overall character is woody with citrus and sweet facets. Rendered for value, it is a little simpler and quieter than the designer version, yet faithful to the core character and easy to reach for day to day.
