Perfume Parlour Loss Decompose is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Loss Decompose opens with Lily, settles into a heart of Spicy Notes, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Powdery and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Loss Decompose carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Loss Decompose channels Lush's cult Death and Decay, that melancholy funeral-lily soliflore. Perfume Parlour leans hard into the indolic white lily that defines the original, keeping the haunting powdery character while the longevity holds better than Lush's notoriously fleeting solid version.

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

Loss Decompose opens on a thick wave of white lily, sweet, full and faintly indolic, capturing the unmistakable funeral-bouquet effect that made Lush's Death and Decay a cult favourite. The dupe puts the lily front and centre, heady and a little narcotic, with the same meditative, melancholy mood. A whisper of soft spice in the heart adds a touch of depth and keeps the flower from being one-dimensional. The drydown turns powdery and quiet, a muted, distant floral close that lingers like flowers just past their prime. Perfume Parlour holds the lily for longer and with more presence than the original's quick-fading solid perfume, giving better staying power while keeping projection soft and intimate. A distinctive, atmospheric white-floral for those who love a statement lily, best for evenings and cool-weather wear.
