Perfume Parlour Purple is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Purple opens with Cinnamon, Clove, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Poppy, Patchouli, Rose, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Chestnut, Musk, Amber, and Benzoin. Perfume Parlour's Purple carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A budget echo of Tiziana Terenzi's Porpora, Purple rebuilds the spiced raspberry-and-rose opening over a warm amber, incense and myrrh base. It captures the commanding, sensual character but the resinous depth reads simpler and the longevity falls well short of the original extrait.

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 opens on a jammy, spiced flourish: ripe raspberry and rose dusted with cloves and cinnamon, sweet and warm from the first spray. The heart deepens with a rich Bulgarian rose joined by smoky incense, earthy patchouli and a whisper of poppy, building the sensual, slightly gothic mood that defines Tiziana Terenzi's Porpora. The drydown turns resinous and comforting - myrrh, soft musk, glowing amber and benzoin, with an earthy chestnut note rounding things off. The original is an extrait famous for its commanding presence and near-relentless staying power; this Perfume Parlour version follows the same amber-spice-rose blueprint but pushes the fruity-sweet opening a touch louder while rendering the incense and resins flatter and less layered, with longevity that settles to a skin scent far sooner. Projection is moderate and intimate after the first hours. It remains a bold, sensual spiced-rose amber for cold-weather evenings, delivering the dramatic spirit of a pricey niche signature at budget cost.
