Perfume Parlour Golden Currant is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Golden Currant opens with Pear and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Freesia, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Ambergris, Caramel, and Amberwood. Perfume Parlour's Golden Currant carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A budget take on Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '76, Golden Currant captures the juicy blackcurrant-and-jasmine fruity-floral that made the disco-era mist a hit. As an EDP it holds longer than the original mist, leaning a touch simpler in the sweet, ambery drydown.

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

Golden Currant opens on a bright, juicy black currant brushed with soft pear, the sparkling fruity start that defines Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '76. The heart blooms into a velvety jasmine and lush freesia warmed by a creamy vanilla, holding the floral elegance that gives the original its intoxicating, 1976-discotheque character. The base settles into a soft ambergris and amberwood with a thread of caramel, lending the honeyed, ambery warmth that grounds the fruity florals. Because the original is a body mist, this EDP rendering carries the same DNA with more presence and staying power on the skin. As a budget dupe, Golden Currant smooths out some of the original's deeper caramelised-patchouli sweetness - it reads a fraction cleaner and simpler in the drydown - but the blackcurrant-jasmine-amber arc holds the recognisable shape, and steers clear of the cloying, over-sweet finish some find in the original. A radiant, playful fruity-floral for spring and summer days and easygoing evenings.
