Perfume Parlour Smokey Fabric For Men is an Eau de Parfum. Smokey Fabric For Men opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Petitgrain, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Oakmoss, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's Smokey Fabric For Men carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget take on the 1975 classic Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel - a sharp green galbanum-citrus opening over the star powdery violet-and-iris heart, settling on a mossy, woody base. One reviewer who owns the original calls PP's version a 90% match on the drydown; it captures the vintage, refined green-powdery signature for a fraction of the price.

About

Smokey Fabric is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Geoffrey Beene Grey Flannel, the critically lauded 1975 green-floral classic. It opens sharp and green - galbanum with a citrus lift of bergamot, lemon, petitgrain and neroli - before the heart reveals its famous star: a sophisticated, raw violet paired with powdery iris, rounded by geranium, mimosa, sage and rose. The drydown is warm and earthy: oakmoss, vetiver, cedar, tonka bean and a touch of almond, the 'warm, comfy pyjamas' finish reviewers describe once the candy-sweet edge of violet falls away. The original is prized for its impressive 8-10 hour longevity and natural, evocative green-floral character; as a budget dupe this version keeps that vintage refined signature, with one owner of the original calling it a 90% match on the base, while the green-floral top reads a touch simpler. A grounding, refined green-powdery classic for spring, the office, formal wear and anyone who loves old-school sophistication.
