Perfume Parlour Scarlet Elegance is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Scarlet Elegance opens with Bergamot, Pink Pepper, and Cherry, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Heliotrope, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Violet, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Scarlet Elegance carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking - a juicy black-cherry-and-vanilla heart, powdery with heliotrope and violet over a soft tonka-musk-amber base. Reviewers who tested it side-by-side with the original call them near-identical, with PP lasting longer. A masterfully sweet cherry-amber for a fraction of the niche price.

About

Scarlet Elegance is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of BDK Parfums Rouge Smoking, the cult 2018 cherry-amber. It opens sweet and fruity - a plump, almost liqueur-like cherry lifted by pink pepper and bergamot - the standout note that made the original famous. The heart turns soft and powdery with black vanilla husk, heliotrope and orange blossom, the cherry-and-vanilla pairing reviewers call masterfully blended, before a cosy base of tonka bean, cashmere wood, white musk, ambroxan, labdanum and violet rounds it into a warm, slightly amber drydown. The original is loved for its polished cherry-vanilla and 6-8 hour longevity; testers who compared this dupe side-by-side with Rouge Smoking found them pretty much identical, noting the PP version actually lasts longer, with only a slight loss of refinement. A sensual, romantic cherry-amber for dates, evenings and cosy days across the cooler months and spring.
