Perfume Parlour Soft Pace is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019. Soft Pace opens with Opoponax, settles into a heart of Violet, Geranium, and Labdanum, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Incense. Perfume Parlour's Soft Pace carries a Statement verdict, a amber-led wear.

A budget take on Byredo Slow Dance. Soft Pace captures the sweet, balsamic opoponax-and-violet character melting into smoky vanilla-patchouli, but the dupe pushes the sweet powdery side forward while the refined, smoky sophistication of the niche original reads flatter and shorter-lived.

About

Soft Pace opens on a warm, honeyed opoponax - sweet and balsamic, the syrupy heart of the original. A powdery violet leads the middle alongside geranium and a resinous labdanum, soft and slightly retro. The base drifts into smoky incense over vanilla and patchouli for a cosy, balsamic finish. Compared to Byredo Slow Dance, this Perfume Parlour interpretation reads sweeter and simpler: the powdery, honeyed amber comes through clearly while the cognac-tinged opening sparkle and the polished, sophisticated smoky-vanilla drydown that made the niche original distinctive are flattened, and it doesn't linger with the same depth. It remains a warm, comforting balsamic-amber, well suited to cosy cool-weather evenings.
