Perfume Parlour Italian Fruit is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Italian Fruit opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Blackcurrant, and Basil, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Pepper, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vetiver, and Labdanum. Perfume Parlour's Italian Fruit carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Italian Fruit shadows Tom Ford's Mandarino di Amalfi with its juicy citrus-and-herb sparkle. The crisp lemon-grapefruit opening and aromatic heart land well, though it dries down flatter and faster than the already light-wearing original.

About

Italian Fruit is Perfume Parlour's budget read on Tom Ford's Mandarino di Amalfi, the sun-soaked Italian citrus. It opens bright and zesty with lemon, grapefruit and a green snap of basil, mint and tarragon, then settles into a lightly herbal-floral heart of clary sage, orange blossom and a peppery edge before drifting to a soft musk, vetiver and amber base. Where the Tom Ford has a polished, slightly sour overripe-mandarin nuance and a refined musky finish, this version reads simpler and a touch sharper, with the citrus pushed up and the subtler facets dialled back. Longevity sits close to the skin - even shorter than the modest original - so it's best as a frequent-spritz summer refresher. A breezy, uplifting warm-weather citrus for almost nothing.
