Perfume Parlour Scary Extreme Dark is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. Scary Extreme Dark opens with Night Blooming Cereus and Rose, settles into a heart of Woody, Peach, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Scary Extreme Dark carries a Statement verdict, a fruity-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's Scary Extreme Dark chases Ghost Deep Night - the sweet rose, juicy peach-apricot and warm vanilla-musk are all present, but this dupe renders the sensual, slightly smoky original flatter and more candied, losing its cosy depth.

About

Scary Extreme Dark opens soft and floral, a sweet rose paired with the dewy white-floral touch of night-blooming cereus. The heart is the heart of the original too: juicy peach and apricot fusing into an almost grape-like fruity sweetness, with a hint of woods keeping it from turning syrupy. The drydown is warm and sensual - vanilla, musk and amber giving the smoky, cosy feel that makes Ghost Deep Night such a beloved budget-friendly night scent. This dupe captures the fruity-floral DNA but renders flatter and more candied: the peach-apricot reads up front and sugary, while the smoky musk-and-woods depth of the original is dialled back. Performance mirrors the original's average reputation - moderate longevity settling close to the skin within a few hours, with gentle projection. As a sweet, sensual fruity-floral for autumn and winter evenings, dates and cosy days it delivers the warmth people love Deep Night for; just without quite the same elegant depth.
