When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

The woody character is happiest in autumn and winter - cooler air gives the warmth room to bloom; the dupe's lighter build means it can struggle to project in the opposite season.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

Its woody, amber signature leans toward evening and daily wear - approachable enough for formal use without overwhelming a room.

About

Great Layer is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Stephane Humbart Lucas 777 Mortal Skin. It opens with Labdanum, Incense, Blackberry, leads into a heart of Artemisia, Iris, Cardamom, and dries down to Musk, Sandalwood, Birch. The overall character is woody with amber and smoky facets. As a dupe it stays closer to the skin with softer projection and shorter wear than the original, but keeps the signature accord recognisable - an easy everyday way to enjoy the style.
