Perfume Parlour Original Mallet For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000. Original Mallet For Women opens with Apple Leaf, Mandarin, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Boronia, Magnolia, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk and Iris. Perfume Parlour's Original Mallet For Women carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

Original Mallet clones Ralph by Ralph Lauren - that clean, youthful green floral-fruity of crisp apple, mandarin and magnolia. The fresh, summery character translates well; like the original it stays light and the simple musk base is even more fleeting in the dupe, so reach for it as a breezy daytime splash.

About

Original Mallet opens crisp and green, fresh apple leaf and Italian mandarin lifted by a sprig of yellow freesia, instantly recalling Ralph's clean, summery signature. The heart is a soft, clean floral of magnolia, japanese osmanthus and boronia - never powdery, always youthful and accessible, the very quality that won Ralph fans who normally avoid florals. A light base of musk and white iris carries it gently down. As a budget clone of the 2000 designer favourite it captures that breezy fresh-floral character faithfully, an easy after-shower daytime scent. The divergence is staying power: Ralph was always a light, short-lived summer wear and the dupe leans even more transient, with the simple musk drydown fading quickly. Best treated as a fresh, uplifting splash for warm casual days rather than a long-haul performer.
