Red Number

Name: Red Number Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Red Number is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2006. Red Number opens with Caraway and Rose, settles into a heart of Cedar and Vetiver, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oud, Guaiac Wood, and Labdanum. Perfume Parlour's Red Number carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Red Number tracks Le Labo's Rose 31 - the spicy, dirty rose laid over cedar and woods - and gets the recognisable shape right. The cumin bite and oud depth sit shallower here, so it reads as a smoother, lighter rose-wood that stays close rather than projecting.

About

Red Number opens on a sharp rose dusted with caraway and cumin, the same slightly bitter, spicy entry that makes Rose 31 read as a 'dirty rose' rather than a pretty one. Within minutes it dries into the heart: a more grounded rose over cedar and a touch of vetiver, woody and dry. The base brings soft oud, guaiac wood, labdanum and a thread of incense-like olibanum wrapped in clean musk. Against the original it is flatter and quieter - the oud is a suggestion rather than a smoky depth, and the cumin grime is sanded down, so the whole thing leans cleaner and more wearable. Longevity is moderate and projection modest, settling into a skin-close woody rose within an hour. It captures the unisex, edgy-elegant spirit of Rose 31 at budget price, trading the original's complexity and tenacity for an easier, softer rendition. A genuine year-round rose, strongest in cooler months and equally at home in the office or on an evening out.
