Perfume Parlour Red Meringue is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012. Red Meringue opens with Nectarine and Kumquat, settles into a heart of Rose, Almond, and Pomegranate, and dries down to a base of Woody, Amber, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Red Meringue carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A budget take on DKNY Sweet Delicious Pink Macaroon. The juicy kumquat-nectarine opening, nutty marzipan heart and vanillary tonka-amber base all come through, and since the original was already light and short-lived, the dupe loses little beyond a touch of polish.

About

Red Meringue opens juicy and sweet with kumquat and nectarine before the gourmand heart arrives: a nutty marzipan accord laced with pomegranate and a soft rose, smelling like a pink macaron with fruity layers. The drydown turns warm and vanillary with tonka bean, amber and a whisper of woods. Inspired by DKNY Sweet Delicious Pink Macaroon, it chases that floral-fruity-gourmand character - soft, sweet and edible. As a Perfume Parlour version it renders the blend a touch flatter and skin-closer, with the inexpensive fruit and marzipan weighted up front; because the original itself was light and fleeting, the divergence here is modest. The result is a playful, dessert-sweet gourmand that captures the fun of Pink Macaroon for warm-weather wear at a fraction of the price.
