Perfume Parlour Night of Volt is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Night of Volt opens with Lemon, Mandarin, and Apple, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, Geranium, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Cedar, Vetiver, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Night of Volt carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

Night of Volt targets YSL's La Nuit de L'Homme Eau Electrique - the fresher flanker that swaps the original's spice for a crisp green-apple-and-lavender freshness over sweet woods. The dupe captures the bright apple-aromatic signature but renders it flatter, with the polished fresh-meets-sweet balance simplified and projection closer to the skin.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Night of Volt opens crisp and electric - a juicy green apple accord lifted by lemon and mandarin, the bright start that defines the Eau Electrique flanker. An aromatic heart of lavender, geranium and sage follows, edged with soft orange blossom, before a sweet-woody base of cashmere wood, vetiver, patchouli, cedar, tonka and vanilla warms it down. Against the YSL original the dupe reads a touch flatter and less refined: the clean, modern interplay of fresh apple, herbal lavender and creamy sweetness is simplified. Of the La Nuit flankers, Eau Electrique is the strong performer, so this budget version trims that longevity noticeably. It wears as a confident, contemporary fresh-aromatic masculine - versatile across spring, summer and autumn and suited to casual days, the office, dates and easy evenings. Projection is modest and longevity skin-close after the opening hours. As a smell-alike it captures the apple-lavender-sweet-woods character of LNDH Electrique while losing some of the polish and tenacity.
