Mountainous

Name: Mountainous Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Mountainous is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. Mountainous opens with Mandarin, Jasmine, and Ginger, settles into a heart of Salt and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Sandalwood, and Ambergris. Perfume Parlour's Mountainous carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A budget riff on Paco Rabanne Olympea and its addictive salty-vanilla accord. Mountainous lands the creamy vanilla-and-salt heart that made the original a hit, but the white-floral and ambergris facets read flatter, and it projects more modestly than Olympea's famous trail.

About

Mountainous opens fresh and faintly aquatic, green mandarin and jasmine over a whisper of ginger, before the signature salty-vanilla accord takes centre stage. That moreish blend of sweet vanilla and a savoury saline edge is exactly what Olympea fans chase, and the dupe captures the gist of it well. The drydown brings creamy sandalwood, cashmere wood and a touch of ambergris for warmth, though here the base is smoother and less resinous than the original's deeper, muskier finish. Compared with Paco Rabanne's Olympea, this clone is a touch sweeter and simpler, trading some of the white-floral lift and the salt-sand complexity for an easier, more linear wear. Projection is moderate rather than room-filling, and longevity runs a few hours before it hugs the skin, where the original famously carries all day. As an affordable everyday version of that salty-vanilla signature, it does the job for dates and cooler-weather wear.
