Perfume Parlour Narcotic Bliss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Narcotic Bliss opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Cognac and Hedione, and dries down to a base of Vanilla and Tobacco. Perfume Parlour's Narcotic Bliss carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Narcotic Bliss chases Initio Narcotic Delight, the boozy cherry-cognac-tobacco. The dark cherry-dipped-in-cognac signature with its smoky tobacco-vanilla base comes through well, but Perfume Parlour reads more candied and synthetic, missing some of the Initio's intoxicating, classy depth.

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

Initio Narcotic Delight is a dark, sexy gourmand - a syrupy cherry dipped in boozy cognac, peppered up top and laid over smoky tobacco and rich vanilla, evoking a late-night, nightclub mood. Narcotic Bliss recreates that intoxicating signature. It opens on a juicy, almost liqueur-like cherry sharpened with pink and black pepper, then turns boozy through cognac and a touch of luminous hedione, before settling into a smoky tobacco and creamy vanilla base. Perfume Parlour captures the cherry-cognac duo well, but its version reads sweeter and more candied, with a slightly synthetic edge that misses the original's smoother, classier execution, and the smoky tobacco depth is lighter. Longevity is good for a budget scent though it trails the Initio's 8-to-12 hours. A sensual, mysterious boozy-cherry gourmand for cold-weather evenings and dates.
