Valuable Stick

Perfume Parlour Valuable Stick is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2008. Valuable Stick opens with Aquatic and Lemon, settles into a heart of Guaiac Wood, Rose, Saffron, and Teak, and dries down to a base of Ambergris, Musk, Woody, and Oud. Perfume Parlour's Valuable Stick carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Valuable Stick chases Mancera's Gold Intensive Aoud - that opulent rose-saffron-and-oud signature over musky woods. Wearers rate the dupe close to the original, opulent and far from harsh, though it loses a little of Mancera's famous projection. A refined, affordable rosy-oud for those who love the Mancera house style.

About

Valuable Stick opens fresh and clean on watery notes and lemon, a brief airy overture before the heart takes centre stage: rose and saffron entwined with teak and guaiac woods and a thread of geranium, the rosy-spicy-woody accord that defines Mancera's Gold Intensive Aoud. The drydown turns musky and luxurious, with ambergris, white musk, precious woods and a soft oud giving it depth and a slightly sweet woodiness. Mancera's original is a strong projector that lasts well past eight hours; this budget interpretation captures the same opulent rose-oud signature impressively and wears smooth rather than harsh, but the sillage is a notch tamer and the woods read a shade flatter. It remains a versatile, refined rosy-oud suited to evenings, dates and cooler-weather daily wear, and a genuine bargain for anyone drawn to the Mancera style.
