Perfume Parlour French Tag For Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004. French Tag For Men opens with Bergamot and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Lavender, Pepper, Cardamom, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Frankincense. Perfume Parlour's French Tag For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget take on Givenchy Blue Label. French Tag nails the grapefruit-and-bergamot citrus open and the dry cedar-vetiver close, but Perfume Parlour's version reads a touch sharper and more synthetic up top, with the soft woody drydown thinner and shorter-lived than the original's modest wear.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

French Tag opens just where Givenchy Blue Label lives, a clean, zesty burst of grapefruit and bergamot that feels effortless and approachable. The heart adds quiet structure with aromatic artemisia and lavender warmed by cardamom and pepper, lending the dry, peppery depth the original is known for. It dries into a woody-watery base of cedar, vetiver and a touch of olibanum for a soft, polished finish. Against the original, Perfume Parlour's interpretation pushes the citrus a little sharper and more synthetic out of the gate, and the refined woody drydown comes off flatter and less rounded. Performance follows the dupe pattern, projecting softly and sitting close to the skin sooner than the original's already-moderate four-to-six-hour wear. For a few pounds it captures that clean, easy fresh-woody charm convincingly enough for daytime and the office.
