Perfume Parlour Purple Cloud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Purple Cloud opens with Hibiscus, Bergamot, and Coconut, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Tuberose, and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Ambrette, Cashmeran, and Cacao Butter. Perfume Parlour's Purple Cloud carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

Purple Cloud takes on Byredo's Velvet Haze, the chic modern-patchouli with coconut water and cocoa. It captures the plush, creamy patchouli and that airy coconut lift, but the dupe renders the original's grey-transparent refinement a little flatter and wears closer, swapping understated luxury for a budget-friendly skin-close version.

Scent Profile

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.

About

Purple Cloud opens soft and creamy with coconut, a hint of hibiscus and bergamot, the airy, slightly milky overture that defines this modern patchouli. The heart turns plush with osmanthus, tuberose and a smooth, thinned patchouli, while the base deepens into cashmeran, cocoa-tinged warmth, clean musk and ambrette. Against Byredo's Velvet Haze, this dupe gets the velvety coconut-patchouli concept right and keeps that chic, understated feel, but the original's luminous grey transparency and refined longevity are toned down here, leaving a cosier, more linear wear that hugs the skin. Longevity is moderate. It is a sophisticated, sensual scent - equally at home on casual days and intimate evenings - delivering much of Velvet Haze's plush charm at a fraction of the niche price.
