Perfume Parlour Queen’s Veil is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Queen’s Veil opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar, Iris, Nutmeg, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Queen’s Veil carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A budget take on Xerjoff's luxurious Pikovaya Dama. Queen's Veil lands the soapy-aldehyde opening and powdery iris-incense heart that make the original a refined floral-aldehyde, but where Xerjoff's multifaceted aldehydes glow all day, this dupe renders flatter and the high-end polish thinner.

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

Queen's Veil interprets Xerjoff's Pikovaya Dama, a sophisticated floral-aldehyde where vintage florals meet a futuristic, soapy cleanliness. It opens radiant and elegant with fatty, soapy aldehydes, neroli, bergamot, rose and a touch of lemon. The heart turns powdery and complex as iris takes centre stage, joined by smoky incense and a spicy thread of coriander, cedar and nutmeg. The drydown settles into a soft, sensual base of musk, vanilla, sandalwood and patchouli. Against the original, this Perfume Parlour version captures the aldehyde-and-iris signature convincingly but renders it flatter - it loses the extreme multifaceted shimmer of Xerjoff's aldehydes and the high-end refinement that justifies the original's price. Longevity is moderate where the original reaches eight to ten hours. It is an elegant, refined aldehydic-floral for cooler seasons, formal occasions and evenings - a wallet-friendly route to that luxurious Pikovaya Dama character.
