Perfume Parlour Good Or Bad is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. Good Or Bad opens with Saffron and Thyme, settles into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Lily, and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, Rosewood, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Good Or Bad carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget version of Givenchy Ange ou Demon, that saffron-and-lily oriental floral. It captures the spectacular saffron opening and powdery vanilla-tonka drydown, just rendered flatter and with the original's 8-hour reach trimmed back.

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

This is Perfume Parlour's budget interpretation of Givenchy Ange ou Demon, an oriental floral built on a striking saffron-lily contrast. It opens with that spectacular, smooth saffron - warm and spiced without bitterness - lifted by a green hint of thyme. The heart is a succulent, crystalline lily framed by orchid and creamy ylang-ylang, the angelic-yet-sensual core the original is famous for. The drydown turns soft and powdery: tonka bean, vanilla and rosewood over a touch of oakmoss and patchouli, that baby-powder-and-woods finish. The original is a strong performer, lasting 8-plus hours and clinging to clothing; the dupe keeps the saffron-lily-vanilla arc but renders it thinner and more linear, with the woods simplified and wear pulled in close. For an inexpensive nod to a modern oriental classic, it captures the mysterious, sensual mood for the money.
