Perfume Parlour Gift is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016. Gift opens with Grapefruit, Pink Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cedar, Patchouli, Rose, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Oud, and Oakmoss. Perfume Parlour's Gift carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Gift channels Moresque Oroluna's smoky rose-and-oud refinement, opening on sparkling grapefruit-cardamom before the Turkish rose and incense take over. The original's natural, steamy-smoky depth and superb longevity are scaled back here, but it captures that mysterious rose-oud character on a budget.

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.

Other declarable allergens

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Gift opens bright and spicy - grapefruit, pink pepper and cardamom - the same sparkling lift that introduces Moresque Oroluna. At its heart, Turkish rose plays protagonist, dusted with geranium, patchouli and cedar, before the base sinks into a smoky veil of incense, oud, labdanum and sandalwood. The original is prized for its natural, balsamic rose and a steamy, smoky drydown that lasts all day; this Perfume Parlour version reads recognisably similar but flatter, with the rose and spice forward and the resinous oud-incense depth thinned out. Projection is moderate and longevity sits in the middle band rather than the original's beast-mode grip. A mysterious, refined rose-oud best worn in cooler months for evenings and dressy occasions.
