Respectable

Name: Respectable Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Respectable is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Respectable opens with Rhubarb, Pepper, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Lily Of The Valley, and Gardenia, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Vetiver, and Frankincense. Perfume Parlour's Respectable carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Respectable chases Amouage Honour Woman's luminous white-floral. The rhubarb-and-pepper opening into a tuberose-gardenia heart over incense and leather reads true to the brief, but as a budget dupe it lands flatter, with the niche original's refinement softened.

About

Respectable opens on a crisp, slightly tart accord of rhubarb, pepper and coriander, the airy lift that keeps Amouage Honour Woman's florals from turning heavy. The heart is a radiant white-floral bouquet - tuberose and gardenia leading, with jasmine, lily of the valley and carnation - the very signature the original is celebrated for. A base of frankincense, vetiver, opoponax, amber and a touch of leather adds smoky, resinous depth. The overall character is elegant, polished and quietly luxurious. As a Perfume Parlour budget interpretation it renders the composition flatter and more 2D than the niche original: the delicate, almost ozonic tuberose is simpler, the incense-leather drydown thinner, and longevity sits skin-close at a few hours rather than the 8-plus Honour can post. Still, the tuberose-gardenia heart and the refined, sophisticated mood come through, making it an affordable route to the Honour idea.
