Perfume Parlour Second Florentine For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. Second Florentine For Women opens with Rose, Lily Of The Valley, and Freesia, settles into a heart of Lily, Gardenia, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Oakmoss, and Blackcurrant. Perfume Parlour's Second Florentine For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A well-reviewed budget take on Gucci's Rush 2. Second Florentine captures that soapy-fresh rose-and-freesia opening blooming into narcissus, gardenia and a green-mossy base, and repeat buyers say it smells exactly like the original. Like Rush 2 itself it leans light and short-lived, but the elegant floral character is faithfully there.

About

Second Florentine chases the soapy-clean floral signature of Gucci's Rush 2 - the intimate, character-rich white floral that built a cult following. It opens fresh and subtle with rose, freesia and dewy lily-of-the-valley, that clean, almost soapy quality the original is known for. The heart is where it gains personality: a slightly green, narcotic narcissus alongside creamy gardenia and lily, evoking the original's horizontal, all-at-once floral bloom. The base settles into earthy oakmoss, a tart whisper of blackcurrant and soft musk, lending a quietly sensual trail. Against the original it does a genuinely faithful job - repeat buyers report it smells exactly like Rush 2 and call it as good as the real thing - though, like the original, which is widely noted for short longevity, this version stays light and fades on the quicker side. What you get is the elegant, soapy white floral that Rush 2 fans adore for a fraction of the cost. Best in spring and summer, an easy and refined pick for dates, daily wear and the office.
