Perfume Parlour Tertiary Water For Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Tertiary Water For Women opens with Citrus and Lemon, settles into a heart of Patchouli and Rose, and dries down to a base of Amber, Vanilla, and Opoponax. Perfume Parlour's Tertiary Water For Women carries a Favourite verdict, a amber-led wear.

A budget reading of Prada's L'Eau Ambree. Tertiary Water captures the lemony-citrus open and the soft powdery amber-vanilla drydown that made the original so elegant, but Perfume Parlour's take reads a touch sweeter and flatter, with wear that stays close to the skin like the soft-projecting original.

About

Tertiary Water opens on a bright, lemony flush of citrus and Amalfi lemon, echoing the fresh start of Prada's L'Eau Ambree. The heart turns soft and refined with rose and a touch of patchouli, easing the brightness into something creamier and more elegant. It settles into the original's signature: a soft, powdery amber base of vanilla and opoponax, intimate and enveloping. Set beside the original, the Perfume Parlour interpretation pushes the sweet amber a touch harder and renders the famously delicate powdery quality slightly flatter and more straightforward, losing some of L'Eau Ambree's understated luxury. Performance sits close to the original's already-soft profile, projecting modestly and lingering as a warm skin scent. For a few pounds it captures that classy, powdery-amber mood faithfully for everyday and dressed-up wear.
