The review

Luscious Rouge scores 6.8 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Lipstick Rose.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Lipstick Rose's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.

At $89 per 100ml it costs 63% less than Lipstick Rose — the cheapest of 3 twins we can price.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Perfume Parlour publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

Frédéric Malle Lipstick Rose is grapefruit and blackcurrant at first, rose and violet at its heart and vanilla, musk and amber at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • grapefruit
  • blackcurrant

Heart

  • rose
  • violet

Base

  • vanilla
  • musk
  • amber
Rose and violet in a warm powdery haze — the scent of retro makeup, gorgeously done.

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
