About

Lighting City is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Balenciaga Paris. It opens with Carnation, leads into a heart of Violet, Patchouli, and dries down to Cedar. The overall character is woody with powdery and amber facets. Rendered for value, it is a little simpler and quieter than the designer version, yet faithful to the core character and easy to reach for day to day.
