Super Power

Name: Super Power Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Super Power is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1996. Super Power opens with Lemon, Violet, Peony, and Peach, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Perfume Parlour's Super Power carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Super Power riffs on the watery fruity-floral DNA of Giorgio Armani's Acqua di Gio for women. The pineapple-peach sparkle and dewy freesia heart read recognisably, but the composition is lighter and more linear - a pleasant breezy floral that trades the original's polish for budget-friendly ease.

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

Super Power opens with a juicy fruity-floral shimmer of pineapple, peach and lemon lifted by powdery peony and violet, instantly evoking the dewy freshness of Acqua di Gio for women. The heart blooms into a soft bouquet of freesia, jasmine, lily of the valley and rose with a creamy ylang touch, before drying down to a clean musky-woody base of sandalwood, amber and cedar. Compared with the Armani original the divergence is clear: the fruit is sweeter and more candied up top, the floral heart less nuanced, and the watery-transparent quality that defines the icon is only sketched in. Longevity sits close to the skin and projection is modest, so it plays as a fresh everyday floral rather than a statement. At its best in spring and summer, it is an easy, pretty, throw-on-and-go scent for daytime and casual dates.
