Tragedy

Name: Tragedy Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Tragedy is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009. Tragedy opens with Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Iris and Iso E Super, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Tragedy carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Tragedy channels Juliette Has A Gun's Calamity J with its powdery iris over a smoky woody-amber musk. That dandyish, unisex character comes through, though it wears even closer to the skin than the already-intimate original.

About

Tragedy is Perfume Parlour's read on Juliette Has A Gun's Calamity J, the deliberately un-floral, un-fruity iris-musk dedicated to strong women. A flicker of cinnamon opens it before a powdery iris takes over, lifted by the airy shimmer of Iso E Super, then it settles into a woody-amber base of labdanum, tonka, vanilla, musk, patchouli and a whisper of civet that gives it a smoky, dandyish edge. Against the original, this budget version reads simpler and flatter - the slow-evolving musk and the refined powdery smokiness are pared back - and longevity sits very close to the skin, much like the intimate original. Still, the sophisticated, slightly androgynous iris-musk signature is recognisable, making it an intriguing budget pick for those who like quiet, characterful scents on cool evenings.
