Perfume Parlour Water Paris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001. Water Paris opens with Bergamot, Yuzu, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Violet, Violet Leaf, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Patchouli. Perfume Parlour's Water Paris carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

Water Paris copies Cartier's Eau de Cartier - that sparkling yuzu-citrus over a green violet-leaf-and-lavender heart and soft woody-musk drydown. The dupe captures the crisp, airy unisex character but reads flatter and even lighter than the already-subtle original.

About

Water Paris is Perfume Parlour's take on Cartier's Eau de Cartier, Christine Nagel's masterwork of subtlety. It opens sparkling and fresh with yuzu and bergamot lifted by a faint coriander, then a green heart of violet leaf, a powdery touch of violet flower and a crisp lavender give it that clean, verdant, airy signature. The base is a soft trail of white amber, musk, patchouli and cedar. As a budget interpretation it captures the elegant, perfectly-unisex, hot-weather freshness of the original well, though it renders the violet-leaf accord flatter and the whole thing even lighter and shorter-lived than the already intimate Cartier. A clean, refined daytime scent for spring and summer, the office and casual wear.
