Perfume Parlour Lose Control is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Lose Control opens with Cardamom, settles into a heart of Cinnamon and Nutmeg, and dries down to a base of Coffee. Perfume Parlour's Lose Control carries a Statement verdict, a spicy-led wear.

Lose Control chases By Kilian Intoxicated's spiced-coffee signature, the cardamom-and-mocha pairing warmed by nutmeg and cinnamon, and lands the cosy gourmand mood. It loses the original's polished richness and big first-hour sillage, wearing flatter and skin-close, but as a budget coffee-spice scent it captures that addictive, warm-bakery character for a fraction of the price.

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

Lose Control opens on aromatic cardamom that quickly entwines with a deep mocha-coffee accord, the unmistakable signature of By Kilian Intoxicated. A spiced heart of nutmeg and cinnamon adds warmth and a faint sweetness, keeping the composition cosy and largely linear from start to finish. On skin it wears as a comforting, grounded coffee-spice gourmand, intimate and a little sensual. Where the original projects strongly in its opening and feels luxuriously smooth, the dupe is more straightforward and skin-close, the coffee reading slightly more bitter-synthetic and the spice less refined. Longevity and projection are the obvious compromises, but for autumn and winter evenings and cosy dates it delivers a convincing, affordable echo of a cult spiced-coffee scent.
