Not my favourite perfume

I have no doubt that it's a spot on clone, the quality is good, it's just the type of thing I'd have to really be in the mood for. It's a bit too unisex and herbal for me but if clean girl aesthetic is your thing I can see why people would like it. I just don't get the hype around this perfume but I'm glad I could find out without dropping Byredo money, especially when their perfumes perform terribly.

It's gorgeous I would say more féminine 😊 safe blind buy.

Unique and fitting of the name

I don’t like green fragrances typically, but this is much more than a typical green fragrance. The fresh and earthy notes are unique. I’ve never smelt anything like it before. If you try it, you’ll realise how fitting the name is

perfect

Very Close

Bal D'Afrique is absolutely beautiful but I just can't justify spending that amount of money (and not sure how they can justify asking it to be honest).
I still had a sample of the original to test this against and while it's not exactly the same it is very close.
The original is smoother and a touch sweeter/creamier to my nose. While the PP version has something very slightly smokey about it in the opening. On the dry down they are extremely similar.
I would say the PP version is even more unisex due to that hint of smoke. I layer it with PP Molecule 01 to boost the woody undertone and it's gorgeous.

Great place to shop. Came to the shop, just before closing on the day before Eid. Staff were extremely helpful and looked after me well as I was buying gifts for Eid. Prices also pretty good as they have a range of products. Shout out to the brothers who helped, I took their names but forgot them as soon as I walked out the door. Think one’s name was Rayhan.

Been wanting to order from this store for over a year and now that I’ve been i can safely say it’s worth 5 stars. Excellent service from the brothers at the front, quality perfumes on sale and great prices. Also love the fact they have a brick and mortar shop so I can sample the scents before buying them or ordering online.

Absolutely love this place. The perfumes here are Devine. I have the body wash and body lotion too and these are top quality. Customer service is second to none. Prices are brilliant. 100% recommended.

I ordered a dupe of Kayali Maui in a Bottle. The only size available from Kayali is a tiny 10 ml. I could go through 10 mls in two days, it’s such a beautiful scent. The day the perfumed arrived I was soo excited because not only did it come in a 60ml bottle, it smelled even better than the original scent, and lasted much longer. After I washed my bedding, I sprayed most of the bottle on my pillow and comforter and everything smells heavenly. I’m considering getting all the different options there are for this scent. It’s just so beautiful!!!

The in-store staff were incredibly accommodating, giving me the freedom to test a wide variety of fragrances without any pressure. Their collection is impressive, and most of the scents are remarkably close to the high-end fragrances they’re inspired by. The pricing and overall value for money are outstanding, making it easy to explore different scents without breaking the bank. While the longevity of the fragrances is average, the affordable price point means you can easily reapply throughout the day without worrying. Highly recommend Perfume Parlour for anyone looking for quality, affordable alternatives to designer fragrances!

As a perfume lover I spend way too much money on Perfumes. But in this economy I cannot justify paying hundreds of Euros on Perfumes anymore. I tried so many dupe stores and was never quite satisfied. Something was always off a bit. I discovered PP on YouTube where it was recommended and gave it a try. The postage is high, since Brexit, but I bought many Perfumes that just hit the right spot. I buy the extrait versions and they last forever and a day and come extremely close to the og. Highly recommend.

Got a 30ml edp of “Verdant Bloom” which is inspired by Xerjoff’s “Torino 21”. This was a blind buy. Very strong minty opening with a prominent lemon note just beneath. Smells leafy/herby too. Reminds me of Dunhill’s Desire Blue with a distinct mint note. I’d say it’s more suited for men. Liking it. Only tiny complaint is the label being applied crooked!

Great house. But since brexit it's terrible experience to deliver to European countries. Germany in my case. Really disappointed.

I've bought 5 fragances and all of them are pretty good. I knew the original fragance of two and they are quite, quite similar .. it's my first experience with pp, but for sure it won't be the last

(Translated by Google) My first order and I was quite surprised, I ordered several 2 ml samples to see how good they were and how similar they were to niche fragrances and they really hit the nail on the head. Very satisfied! (Original) Mi primer pedido y he quedado bastante sorprendido, pedí varias muestras de 2 ml para ver que tal sus calidad y su similitud con las fragancias nicho y de verdad que han dado en el clavo. Muy satisfecho!

(Translated by Google) I think it is without a doubt the best fragrance house, its wide catalog of perfumes, fragrances, an extensive list of formats so you can choose the one that best suits us, I am super happy with this find ☺️☺️☺️ (Original) Me parece sin duda la mejor casa de fragancias, su amplio catálogo de perfumes, fragancias, una extensa lista en cuanto a formatos para que puedas elegir el que más nos conviene, estoy súper contenta con éste hallazgo ☺️☺️☺️

Buy from their online shop a fair bit. They have really good quality fragrances. Some are hit and miss, but that’s more of a personal taste and not the product. Will carry on being a loyal customer.

Top 3 of the best options for luxury perfumes at affordable prices around Europe! If you're looking for high-quality fragrances at reasonable prices, Perfume Parlour is your best option. This online retailer offers a wide selection of luxury perfumes at incredible prices, without compromising on quality or authenticity. The first thing that stands out is their excellent customer service. The team (Mohammed chated with me) is very attentive and helpful, always ready to answer any questions or concerns quickly and efficiently. The purchasing process is simple and hassle-free. As for the products, I have been truly impressed. The perfumes seem to be practically identical to the originals, with almost indistinguishable olfactory notes. Even the longevity and projection are comparable. In particular, I want to highlight my experience with Narcotic Bliss, which is practically a perfect replica of Narcotic Delight by Initio. Delivery is also very fast and reliable. Orders arrive within the indicated timeframe and in perfect condition (I purchased these products from Perfume Parlour while living in Spain). In summary, Perfume Parlour is an excellent option for obtaining luxury perfumes at accessible prices, without sacrificing quality or authenticity. Highly, so highly, recommended. Thanks PP!

Have been buying perfumes from Perfume Parlour since 2018. I've been so happy and satisfied with all my purchases. Their perfumes are so long lasting and better than the OG, I always get compliments everywhere. Customer service is amazing and first class. I highly recommend their perfumes, try them save money and thank me later

I don’t normally gravitate to cherry notes but I love rose, so I took a chance on this one. So glad I did because it has become a new favorite! The EDP lasts all day. Another excellent creation from PP!
