Perfume Parlour 2011 EDP

M £ Statement

Italian Currency

Perfume Parlour Italian Currency is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Italian Currency opens with Bergamot, Blood Orange, and Lavender, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Cinnamon, and Licorice, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Caramel. Perfume Parlour's Italian Currency carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Italian Currency echoes Xerjoff's cult gourmand Lira, with its caramel-vanilla base lifted by blood orange and a spicy heart. The freshly-baked-cake sweetness is there, though it lands flatter and softer than the lavish original.

About

Italian Currency chases Xerjoff Casamorati's legendary Lira, the gourmand famous for smelling like warm lemon cake. It opens with a citrusy sparkle of blood orange and bergamot over soft lavender, then a heart of licorice, cinnamon and jasmine adds gentle spice before the signature caramel-and-vanilla base takes over, rounded with a touch of musk. Against the Xerjoff, this version simplifies the masterful citrus-against-sweetness balance - the caramel reads a little more one-note and the sophisticated warmth is pared back - and longevity sits closer to the skin than Lira's hours-long projection. Even so, the cosy, comforting baked-dessert character is well captured, making it an inviting budget gourmand for cold-weather evenings and snuggly date nights.
