The review

Plum Orchid 2161 scores 4.6 out of 10 on paper — a long shot territory for anyone chasing Cheirosa 40.

Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Cheirosa 40's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

It is sold as an extrait — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.

It is $83 per 100ml.

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

Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 40 is black amber plum and creme de cassis at first, jasmine blooms and brazilian orchid at its heart and vanilla woods and warm musk at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Top

  • black amber plum
  • creme de cassis

Heart

  • jasmine blooms
  • brazilian orchid

Base

  • vanilla woods
  • warm musk
Dark plum and cassis over orchid and vanilla wood; the grown-up end of the range.
