Fourth Axis

Name: Fourth Axis Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour

Perfume Parlour Fourth Axis is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Fourth Axis opens with Grapefruit and Juniper, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Osmanthus, and dries down to a base of Mastic, Rose, and Galbanum. Perfume Parlour's Fourth Axis carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

Perfume Parlour's Fourth Axis nods to Escentric Molecules Escentric 04 - the grapefruit-and-juniper opening over a soft osmanthus-woody heart reads cleanly, but the dupe smooths out the radiant Iso E Super hum and woody-fruity nuance that gives the original its airy signature.

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.

About

Fourth Axis opens fresh and faintly aquatic, a bright grapefruit-and-juniper accord that initially reads like a generic blue fragrance before it warms and rounds out. The heart brings in a soft, apricot-tinged osmanthus laced with creamy sandalwood, while the base leans green and woody - galbanum and resinous mastic with a quiet rose underpinning. It chases the woody-fruity airiness of Escentric Molecules Escentric 04, and on first wear it improves as it dries down. Compared with the original's transparent, skin-radiant Iso E Super glow, this budget version sits flatter and more linear, with the citrus-green facets weighted up front and the refined woody shimmer dialled back. Longevity is moderate and projection stays close after the opening burst. As a clean, unisex daytime fresh-woody for spring and summer it does the job, just without the diffusive, second-skin radiance of the real Escentric 04.
