Perfume Parlour Gold XI For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Gold XI For Women opens with Red Apple, settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Gold XI For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Gold XI follows Kayali's discontinued Elixir 11, that gorgeous apple-rose into patchouli-amber-vanilla. Perfume Parlour captures the fruity-rose opening and warm gourmand-woody base, pushing the vanilla a shade sweeter while the rose feels a little less refined than the original.

About

Gold XI opens on a sweet, juicy red apple laced with rose petals, the same inviting fruity-floral start that made Kayali's Elixir 11 a favourite before it was discontinued. The dupe keeps that appley-rose sparkle, leaning a touch sweeter. The heart deepens into a fuller rose as may rose and jasmine sambac bloom, romantic and lush. The drydown is where it shines and where it diverges most: patchouli steps forward alongside velvety amber and creamy vanilla, exactly as in the original, though Perfume Parlour sweetens the vanilla a little further so the close reads more gourmand and slightly less polished. Performance is solid for a budget scent, with good longevity and moderate projection. A warm, sensual fruity-rose for cooler months, easy to wear from day into evening or for a date.
