The review
Soft Pace scores 6.5 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Slow Dance.
Perfume Parlour sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Slow Dance's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: extrait, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $114 per 100ml it costs 56% less than Slow Dance — the 2nd cheapest of 2 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
Byredo Slow Dance is plum and juniper at first, opoponax and violet at its heart and benzoin, cedarwood and vanilla at the end. Perfume Parlour set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.
Top
- plum
- juniper
Heart
- opoponax
- violet
Base
- benzoin
- cedarwood
- vanilla
Plum and opoponax melting into benzoin, warm as a dim room at the end of the night.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
How it ranks against the other twins
Of the 2 twins of Byredo Slow Dance we can price, Soft Pace is number 2 on price per 100ml.
- 01 The Dupe Spot Slow Dance $36/100ml
- 02 Perfume Parlour Soft Pace $114/100ml
