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.
