Single Ruby

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

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.
