Ornaments For Women

Ornaments opens juicy and sparkling, tart red currant and pomegranate tumbling out in the sour-fizzy burst that made Vera Wang's Be Jeweled a young, girly favourite. The heart turns soft and pretty, pink peony and honeysuckle rounded with a tropical thread of passionfruit. It settles onto a sweet, comforting base of sugar, white musk and creamy Australian sandalwood for a smooth, cosy finish. Set beside the original, the Perfume Parlour interpretation keeps that playful fruity-floral character intact but reads a touch sweeter. The place it pulls ahead is performance, Be Jeweled is notorious for fading to a skin scent within a few hours, while this EDP clings a little longer and holds its shape better. For a few pounds it delivers that flirtatious, red-berry-and-sugar signature faithfully, a carefree pick for warm spring and summer days and easy casual wear.
