Perfume Parlour Great Lady is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Great Lady opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Coffee, and Almond, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, Tonka Bean, and Cacao Butter. Perfume Parlour's Great Lady carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Great Lady chases Carolina Herrera Good Girl Velvet Fatale, holding onto the coffee-and-tuberose duality with that caramel-sweet gourmand drydown, but the dupe renders it flatter and skin-closer, trading the original's rich roasted depth and lush florals for a simpler, more linear sweet floral.

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

Great Lady opens on a bittersweet coffee laced with almond and a flash of citrus, the bold gourmand signature of Carolina Herrera Good Girl Velvet Fatale, the sweeter, more caramel-leaning take on Good Girl. A floral heart of tuberose, rose, jasmine and orris briefly brightens the composition before it dives into a rich base of praline, cacao, tonka and vanilla. As a budget dupe it captures the gist, the coffee, the white florals, the sweet roasted drydown, while rendering everything more one-dimensional, missing the natural roasted-coffee texture and lush floral depth that give the Herrera its polish. Projection stays moderate and the scent settles close to the skin sooner, with shorter longevity than the original's bold, hours-long wear. It is a warm, sultry sweet gourmand for cooler-weather evenings that delivers the Good Girl Velvet Fatale mood at a fraction of the cost, even if it lacks the original's richness and staying power.
