Perfume Parlour Seen Aura is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025. Seen Aura opens with Bergamot and Violet, settles into a heart of Moxalone, Civettone, and Orris, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Ambrettolide, Sesame, and Sandalwood. Perfume Parlour's Seen Aura carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A budget clone of Nishane's Meant To Be Seen. The cool iris-and-bergamot opening melting into a creamy sesame-musk base captures the original's surprisingly soft, refined character, though Perfume Parlour renders it simpler and even quieter.

About

Seen Aura follows Nishane's restrained Meant To Be Seen, opening cold, clean and fresh with violet and bergamot. The heart of orris, moxalone and civettone keeps that polished iris character before the scent settles into a clean, slightly buttery base of akigalawood, sesame, ambrettolide and sandalwood. The original is unusually soft and restrained for Nishane: a creamy, slightly sweet woody-floral-musk that feels luxurious rather than loud, with good 6-8 hour longevity but skin-hugging sillage. This clone captures that cool-iris-into-creamy-musk arc and the refined sesame-musk drydown, but the composition reads simpler and projects even closer to the skin with shorter wear. It's an elegant, understated woody-musk that delivers the spirit of Meant To Be Seen for a fraction of the price.
