Perfume Parlour Single Ruby is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2014. Single Ruby opens with Violet and Watermelon, settles into a heart of Floral Notes, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Single Ruby carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

A budget version of Calvin Klein's CK One Red Edition for Her. The juicy watermelon-over-musk signature is the whole appeal, and this dupe nails the breezy fruity-fresh mood - though, like the original, its watermelon can read a little muted and its longevity stays modest.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Single Ruby opens on a mouthwatering burst of watermelon laced with a soft violet, exactly the fresh, clean, fruity idea behind CK One Red Edition for Her. The heart keeps things light with airy floral notes, while the base brings a fairly prominent musk, a touch of patchouli and white amber that lend a clean, slightly earthy backbone. The original is itself a casual, easygoing fruity-musk with famously light projection and short-to-moderate longevity, so this dupe sits close to it - the watermelon perhaps a shade sweeter and greener, the musk a little more obvious. Performance is modest by design, staying close to the skin. A cheerful, breezy scent for warm spring and summer days, perfect for casual wear, sport and easy dates.
