Perfume Parlour High Extract is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. High Extract opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Juniper, and Clary Sage, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Violet Leaf, Pepper, and Cardamom, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Iris. Perfume Parlour's High Extract carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

High Extract copies DKNY Men (2009) - the same crisp juniper-citrus opening over a peppery violet-leaf heart and a cedar-vetiver base. The budget version captures the woody-aromatic shape but reads flatter, with the cedar and vetiver less present than the original's long-lasting drydown.

Scent Profile

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot

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

High Extract opens crisp and aromatic, with bergamot, mandarin, juniper and clary sage giving the same fresh, green start that defines DKNY Men. A peppery heart of cardamom, violet leaf and jasmine carries through before a woody base of Virginia cedar, vetiver, orris root and patchouli settles in. Against the original the budget take is flatter and the cedar-vetiver base thinner, with sillage that stays close to the skin - though the DKNY itself is a skin-close, low-projection scent prized mainly for its long life. It remains a refined, easy-wearing woody-aromatic fragrance for spring and autumn, well suited to the office, casual days and dates.
