Perfume Parlour Spice Plum Essence is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. Spice Plum Essence opens with Pepper, Cardamom, and Frankincense, settles into a heart of Saffron, Tobacco, and Plum, and dries down to a base of Turmeric and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Spice Plum Essence carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A budget interpretation of Penhaligon's ALULA. The luscious plum-and-tobacco heart wrapped in spice and warm vanilla is the signature, and this dupe captures that spicy-sweet glow, though it runs sweeter and rounder than the original, softening the precise, high-quality saffron and incense that give ALULA its finesse.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Spice Plum Essence opens on a spicy haze of frankincense, black pepper and cardamom before its real subject arrives: a juicy, jammy plum laced with smooth tobacco and a thread of saffron, exactly the moreish plum-tobacco heart that makes Penhaligon's ALULA so loved. A warm base of vanilla and earthy turmeric rounds it into a cosy, sweet-spicy finish. Where ALULA balances its sweetness with refined, smoky incense and a polished saffron, this dupe leans further into the plum and vanilla, reading sweeter and a touch simpler. Longevity is good for a budget scent but trimmed against the original's all-day grip, with projection that warms a room rather than fills it. A rich, sensual spicy-fruity for autumn and winter evenings, dates and dressed-up nights.
