About

Sweet Substance is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Tender Poison. It opens with Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Asafoetida, leads into a heart of Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Freesia, and dries down to Heliotrope, Musk, Vanilla. The overall character is citrus with floral and musky facets. Rendered for value, it is a little simpler and quieter than the designer version, yet faithful to the core character and easy to reach for day to day.
