Perfume Parlour Ornamented For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013. Ornamented For Women opens with Hyacinth, Mandarin, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Sweet Pea, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Osmanthus. Perfume Parlour's Ornamented For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A pretty take on Carven Le Parfum's clean, musky floral - apricot and hyacinth brightening a sweet-pea and jasmine heart over osmanthus, patchouli and sandalwood. Perfume Parlour adds a little more fruit and sweetness, while the original's crisp, laundry-fresh sophistication and quiet sillage are softened further still.

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

Ornamented opens fresh and feminine: a fruity touch of apricot meets dewy hyacinth and mandarin blossom, capturing the crisp first impression of Carven Le Parfum. The heart turns floral with jasmine, ylang-ylang and sweet pea, keeping things soft and elegant rather than indolic. A base of osmanthus, patchouli and sandalwood lends a gentle musky-woody finish with the faint dusty quality the original is known for. Compared to the Carven - a notably clean, almost laundry-fresh floral with very little sillage - Perfume Parlour nudges the apricot and sweetness up, making it slightly fuller and more obviously fruity. Longevity is moderate and projection soft, in keeping with the original's understated nature. A refined, ladylike floral for spring and summer days, comfortable at the office or a polished daytime occasion.
