Perfume Parlour Pure Moist is an Eau de Parfum. Pure Moist opens with Bergamot, Orange, Peach, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Rose, Ylang-Ylang, Orchid, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Pure Moist carries an Acquired verdict, a amber-led wear.

Pure Moist recreates Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, the legendary 1953 spicy-amber powerhouse. It captures the clove-and-cinnamon spice and that opulent balsamic-amber drydown, but the dupe tames the original's huge 12-14 hour longevity and projection, wearing closer and a little flatter while keeping the rich, vintage warmth.

About

Pure Moist opens spicy and slightly aldehydic with bergamot, peach and orange, before quickly diving into its real character: a dense spice heart of clove, cinnamon and ylang-ylang with rose and a touch of orchid. The drydown is opulent and balsamic - amber, tolu balsam, benzoin, vanilla and patchouli - leaving a dusty, sensual ambery trail. Against Estee Lauder's Youth Dew, this dupe nails the bold spicy-amber DNA and that unmistakable vintage warmth, but the original's enormous longevity and excellent projection are dialled back here, giving a more wearable, skin-close version with shorter staying power. It remains a rich, grown-up oriental best suited to autumn and winter evenings, delivering the heart of a classic at a budget price.
