Perfume Parlour Raalph 4 For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Raalph 4 For Women opens with Blood Orange, Watermelon, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Magnolia and Cherry, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Cedar. Perfume Parlour's Raalph 4 For Women carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A budget take on Ralph Lauren's Big Pony 4 for Women. The candied wild-cherry-over-purple-amber idea is the whole appeal, and this dupe nails that sweet, fruity-oriental glow - and since the original is a light eau de toilette known for weak longevity, the dupe lands close in character.

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

Raalph 4 leads with its signature: a candied wild cherry, juicy and sweet, lifted by a flicker of blackcurrant, blood orange and watermelon, just like Ralph Lauren's Big Pony 4 for Women. A soft magnolia keeps the heart faintly floral before the drydown unfurls the 'purple amber' accord - warm amber rounded with cedar and musk - that gives the original its cosy, slightly powdery finish. Because Big Pony 4 is a featherweight EDT centred on one dimension of cherry sweetness with famously short longevity, this dupe stays true to that playful, easygoing character - perhaps a touch fuller in the amber, with similarly soft, skin-close projection. A fun, flirtatious fruity-oriental for mild spring and autumn days, casual wear and easy dates.
