When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The warm spicy character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

About

Scarlet Ember is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Carios (Parfums de Marly). It opens with Saffron, Mandarin Orange, Pink Pepper, leads into a heart of Black Pepper, Geranium, and dries down to Ambroxan, Tonka Bean, Vetiver. The overall character is warm spicy with citrus and aromatic facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
