Perfume Parlour Outing For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. Outing For Women opens with Mignonette, Mandarin, and Sage, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Peach Blossom, Cyclamen, and Nectarine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Perfume Parlour's Outing For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget version of Burberry Weekend for Women. Outing captures the soft, powdery fruity-floral character with its zesty mandarin open and hyacinth-iris-nectarine heart, but Perfume Parlour's take reads a touch sharper and the woody-musk close fades fast, matching the original's modest four-to-six-hour wear.

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

Outing opens on a soft, breezy accord, much like Burberry Weekend for Women, sweet and zesty mandarin lifted by aromatic sage and grassy mignonette, fresh and laid-back. The heart is a powdery fruity-floral bouquet, blue hyacinth, iris and violet root layered with nectarine, peach blossom, rose hip and red cyclamen, the gently sweet, slightly powdery character that gives the original its understated charm. It dries into a soft base of cedar, sandalwood and musk for a clean, comfortable finish. Set beside the original, the Perfume Parlour interpretation pushes the florals a little sharper and renders the powdery softness slightly more synthetic, while the woody-musk drydown thins out fast, in keeping with the original's already-modest longevity. For a few pounds it captures that relaxed, weekend-fresh floral mood faithfully for warm-weather daytime wear.
