Plum Orchid

Name: Plum Orchid Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Plum Orchid is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Plum Orchid opens with Amber, Plum, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine and Orchid, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Musk, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Plum Orchid carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '40 - juicy plum, black amber and cassis over an orchid-jasmine heart and a warm vanilla-woods-musk base. PP captures the cosy, boozy-plum warmth that makes the original the grown-up of the Cheirosa range; as an EDP it can outlast the body mist, though some report it leaning more herbal than fruity. A warm, sophisticated gourmand for a fraction of the price.

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

Plum Orchid is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa '40, the warm, sophisticated 2021 fruity gourmand. It opens rich and juicy - ripe plum, resinous black amber and a glint of cassis - before softening into a gentle floral heart of orchid and jasmine. The drydown is cosy and enveloping: warm vanilla, soft woods and musk, the 'most office-appropriate Cheirosa' character reviewers prize for being less sugary than its siblings. As a budget dupe this version mirrors the original's composition closely, and in EDP form often holds longer than the original mist's three-to-six hours. Reviews are mixed on fidelity - most find it a close, warm plum match, while a few report it reading more herbal or medicinal than the juicy original - so skin chemistry plays a role. A comforting, slightly boozy plum-vanilla for autumn and winter days, dates and easy office wear.
