Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best in spring and summer - the floral, citrus profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

About

City Wood is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Fortnum & Maison Taif Oud. It opens with Bergamot, Aldehydes, leads into a heart of Ylang-Ylang, Rose, Jasmine, and dries down to Vanilla, Patchouli, Musk. The overall character is floral with citrus and warm spicy facets. It is a lighter, more linear interpretation than the original - less of the expensive nuance, but the headline accord comes through clearly for casual everyday wear.
