About

Hectic is Perfume Parlour's budget take on Giorgio Armani Mania Him. It opens with Saffron, leads into a heart of Cedar, Vetiver, and dries down to Amber, Musk. The overall character is woody with warm spicy and amber 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.
