The opening is ambery floral, composed of hibiscus, Bulgarian rose, and amber. The warm heart blends white pepper, vanilla and amber. The end note is woodsy-balzamic with a gourmand touch of almond and cherry.
I have thought about this perfume for years. It was my absolute favourite in high school and the scent that got me into perfumes. I've loved so many over the years but never as much as Gloria and I have been devastated since it was discontinued. I found a recommendation for the Perfume Parlour version on Fragrantica and ordered the extrait.
First sniff I was a little disappointed. I remember thinking "she's definitely in there" but it was masked by quite an unpleasant smell. Then I read about leaving them to sit for a little while to develop fully or "macerate" since they're made to order and need time to mature a little.
So I popped it in a cupboard for a week or two and came back when I could no longer resist.
As soon as I sprayed it was instant Gloria! I can't believe it. After all these years. I am over the moon - I've worn it every day and ordered a bigger bottle plus the oil to see if I can get a little longer out of it. My only criticism is that it's not got the same longevity, wearing off after a couple of hours, but for this price I will bring it in my bag and respray!
Thank you Perfume Parlour for bringing Gloria back into my life. So happy!

Satisfecho con la puntualidad y calidad de producto
I never smelt the original from Penhaligon's, but I smelt other alternative from other fragrances oils companies. I like Perfume Parlour proposal. It smells smoky and a bit sweet for some hours, I like the smell a lot. It tends to turn on the sweet side after some hours, but the smell is still good.

Just perfect
I find it better than the original because the PP is directly in the bottom of the perfume with a 90% similarity (I own the original)

Absolutely Amazing
I discovered the original scent (Kilian Smoking Hot) in a large dept. store and instantly fell in love with it. I've been waiting for PP to release this and they have hit the nail bang on the head with this one. It is identical to the original. Smells amazing and lasts for ages. I can still smell it on my clothes the next day. Only a very small amount needed for maximum effects. I'm using the 60ml Extrait. 10/10 PP.

A sweet hybrid
This is lovely and sweet, quite juicy as well. To my nose it's like a hybrid of Instant Crush and Erba Pura. It's just seems to work without leaning too feminine. This is now my 24th or 25th extrait bottle from P.P. I just wish the delivery was quicker.
