Perfume Parlour Power Super is an Eau de Parfum. Power Super opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Power Super carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A faithful nod to Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio, Power Super captures that legendary citrus-aquatic freshness on a budget. The bright bergamot-and-lime opening reads true, but the marine accord lands flatter and the musky woods fade faster than the original - a clean daily freshie rather than the icon itself.

Composition

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.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter orange peel Citrus Aurantium Amara Peel Oil from Neroli
  • Neroli Citrus Aurantium Amara Flower Oil from Neroli
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Power Super opens exactly where Acqua di Gio made its name - a sparkling burst of bergamot, lemon and lime over a soft neroli-mandarin shimmer that smells crisp and sun-warmed. The heart keeps a thread of clean jasmine before settling into a familiar aquatic-musky drydown of white musk, cedar and a whisper of oakmoss and patchouli. Against the Armani original the divergence is honest: the citrus is a touch sharper and more synthetic up top, the mineral-marine depth is thinner, and where the real Acqua di Gio drifts as a refined skin-scent for hours, this dupe sits closer to the skin and softens within a few. It is a flatter, more 2D reading of an icon - but for an inoffensive, clean office-and-weekend freshie it does the job convincingly. Best in spring and summer heat where its airy character comes alive.
