About

Reade is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Bond No 9 Lafayette Street. It opens with Bergamot, Flowers, Coriander, leads into a heart of Vanilla, Apple, Ambroxan, and dries down to Ambergris, Tonka Bean, Woody Notes. The overall character is amber with citrus and vanilla facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
