S.S

Name: S.S Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour S.S is an Eau de Parfum. S.S opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Freesia, and Basil, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Perfume Parlour's S.S carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's budget version of the original Dolce & Gabbana for Women (1992), that bold aldehydic-floral powerhouse. It captures the soapy aldehyde blast and carnation-led bouquet, just rendered flatter and with the original's 8-hour oomph trimmed back.

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

This is Perfume Parlour's budget interpretation of the 1992 Dolce & Gabbana for Women, a benchmark aldehydic floral. It opens big and decadent - fizzy aldehydes over mandarin, freesia, bergamot and a green hint of basil, that ginormous soapy introduction the original is famous for. The heart is a full powerhouse bouquet, with carnation the most discernible note among orange blossom, jasmine, Bulgarian rose and lily of the valley. The drydown turns soft and musky-soapy with vanilla, tonka bean, sandalwood and clean musk. The original is a true power fragrance with above-average projection and 8-plus-hour longevity; the dupe keeps the bold aldehydic-floral shape but renders it thinner, with the carnation and musk less rich and wear pulled in close. For an inexpensive nod to a vintage powerhouse floral, it captures the decadent mood for the money.
